How do you improve your English listening skills? If you ask this question to English teachers, they will tell you the same thing.
They will tell you to go watch movies They will say that watching movies is a great way to improve your listening. But there's a problem.
A lot of English learners watch movies with subtitles. Some people use English subtitles. Other people use subtitles in their native languages.
It doesn't matter what kind of subtitles you use. Watching movies with subtitles is a really bad way to improve your listening.
And in this video, I'm going to explain to you why it's such a bad idea.
But first, let me share with you my personal experience. So back when I was in college, I wanted to improve my English listening skills.
So what did I do? Well, I started to watch movies with English subtitles.
I thought that that was the best way to improve my listening. I was really optimistic.
I thought that in two or three years, I would be able to understand native speakers. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
After six years of doing that, I still could not understand native speakers.
