This is another convenient, fun way to improve your listening skills. Most people already watch television and movies in English. Now you just need to make your English learning purpose explicit: use these convenient daily habits to learn English.
TV series are ideal because they are shorter and you can do them every day. You can get the DVDs and watch them in order so that there is a continuous story. Friends is the most popular and research shows that people learn a lot of English from it. Other good shows are Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother. But you can also watch virtually anything else on TV.
Movies are excellent too. However, while movies are generally much more enriching and higher quality than TV shows, the 90 to 120+ minutes usually required to watch movies isn’t something people have every day.
SUBTITLES: If you don’t understand what they are saying, put subtitles on in English. Once you get used to that, try taking them off. You can watch the same episode over and over until you really start to understand it. Look for the transcript online.
