(With subtitles) it makes sense to watch them in English to learn because the series interests me a lot and it's not just about learning
I also improved my English like that! It is best if you also have a subtitle.
Yes I forgot to write with subtitles. Frustrates a beginning that one does not understand a lot because I'm really interested in the series
At the beginning I was pretty annoyed that I could not understand everything because the video (for me it was a YouTuber) absolutely wanted to understand me. But over time you get it, just translate the words you don't understand at all.
Passive sprinkling (watching films) alone is not enough to learn English or improve one's English.
That is why other learning methods are also important + right, like
- Travel to English-speaking countries, if possible alone, otherwise you are more than welcome to send your companion
- to learn vocabulary efficiently - d. H. So that one
retrieving them and using them - means learning them regularly in small portions + not only stubbornly memorizing them, but also building families of words + example sentences, using prepositions, grammar. Peculiarities etc. To learn
- Learn vocabulary with all your senses (see, hear, smell, taste, feel / touch)
+ preferably also speak, sing, rap, rhythmic, in verse + gymnastics (typical hand movement)
• You can also use sticky notes. The respective English word on all objects, household appliances, etc.
o. Stick other vocabulary into the whole apartment + learn vocabulary, so to speak, in passing.
- Play vocabulary (learn d): city, country, river on
Engl., Who knows most Engl. Animals, furniture, clothing, etc?
Teapot, Taboo, Memory, Bingo, Scrabble and much more.
- Also speak English privately, with friends, family etc. And simulate everyday situations: daily routine, cooking, shopping, doctor, cinema, theater, hospital, bakery, museum, train station, airport, hotel, restaurant etc.
- When walking, on the way to school, shopping, etc., think about what the things you see are called in English. Look up words you didn't know at home in the dictionary.
- read books, newspapers, magazines
- engl. Watch TV + engl. Videos
- Listen to English radio + English podcasts
- BBC on the Internet, with podcast download
- English very easy - The new listening course, Hueber
- BBC Podcast 6 Minute English (Google)
- Podcast archive: Business Spotlight Podcast - podcast. De / podcast / 2756 / archive /? Page = 11
- Randall's ESL Cyber Listening Lab (Google)
- audioenglish.net
- autoenglish.org/listenings.htm
- attend English language + conversation courses (e.g. VHS), regulars' tables, theater groups, reading circles
- join an Engl-Deutsche Gesellschaft, an Engl-Deutsche Freundeskreis
- Set up Skype + search for native speakers as conversational partners
- English letter- / email- / chatfriends and / or tandem partners search
- write a diary
It doesn't matter whether you work with the good old vocabulary book, a card index box or an electric vocabulary trainer.
Most schools in Bavaria recommend phase6 as a vocabulary trainer. But you have to buy it.
(see: phase-6. De / opencms / Homepage /)
Pons offers a free vocabulary trainer app, see: de. Pons. Com / specials / apps
or enter in Google Comparison vocabulary trainer and follow the links, eg. B. This one:

Stiftung Warentest also tested vocabulary trainers. https://www.test.de/Apps-Vokabeltrainer-Englisch-Lernhaeppchen-4236368-0/
But since a language is not just a string of words. Vocabulary is, but should also be combined into sentences as sensibly as possible, it is just as important to practice grammar regularly for 10-15 minutes: ego4u. De + english help. De.
When watching series / films, stopping every time, writing down + looking up quickly becomes annoying + spoils the fun of it. I would only pause + to look up vocabulary or phrases if you do not understand very long sequences.
If anything, I would just write down a few catch phrases.
Use series / films for listening comprehension + the speech melody, not to learn vocabulary. There are better methods (see above).
Please also keep in mind that practice makes perfect, just like reading. At first it will be difficult, but over time you will hear + it will be easier.
You have to try it out for yourself if it is easier for you - if possible - to watch films with subtitles. Often these distract rather than help.

PS: Not all tips can be implemented right from the start, but more and more over time and from year to year.
Thank you!
This is one of the best ways to learn to understand the language.
