Do you think watching movies of different languages help in learning?
Does watching movies help?
Yes and No. But I lean strong into "No" knowing what I know now and having watch hundreds of hours of Spanish media.
I don't have anything against movies, as a matter of fact I love Spanish and Latin American film, but I prefer to watch a series. Why? There is enough time to get used to the actors voices, their vocabulary, the plot, etc. that a movie can't give you. I'd watch a movie strictly for enjoyment and a series for learning, if that makes sense.
¡Hagámoslo ya!
This actually makes sense.. series give more time :ok_hand:Jeremi.Kress wrote:Yes and No. But I lean strong into "No" knowing what I know now and having watch hundreds of hours of Spanish media.

I think you could re-watch movies/series you have already seen in your mother language and try to watch them in your target languages just to see how it goes.

Absolutely. They are great for listening practice, once you've reached an intermediate level.
I'm reading the Malazan Book of the Fallen.
I think movies are great tools. I taught English at a university in Indonesia, and none of the Indonesians I met who were fluent in English had learned in a classroom - they'd picked up the language from American movies and TV shows.
yes i believe so
