The 2021 Oscars were held last Sunday (25) and great films won. Here our conversation is not just about films, but also about how they are tools you can use to learn English. The seventh art is a vehicle for histories, cultures and, of course, languages! At the Oscars, productions in English predominate and, if you like films and are learning English, it is an excellent way to combine business with pleasure. How do films help with English training? Films have a multifaceted role in learning English. Firstly, they present the language as it is spoken, which helps the viewer not only to accustom their ears to the language, but also to assimilate the sounds of the words, the rhythm of the language, its constructions and applications. It's a good way to learn slang, idiomatic expressions and vocabulary that can make all the difference in real communication with native English speakers.
With the help of subtitles, reading is trained alongside listening comprehension, with a very important benefit: in English, words can be written very differently from speech, so it is interesting to know how to assimilate the written and spoken forms of words. Another tip is to pay attention to facial movements. Speech requires the C Level Contact List movement of the muscles in the mouth and each sound will be expressed in a particular way. Be careful to repeat the movements of those who are native speakers of the language. For all these reasons, films are more than entertainment, they can be great allies when training English. Now let's get to the movies! AND MADLAND Nomadland tells the story of Fern, a 60-year-old woman who leaves her city and travels as a nomad across the United States in her van.
