My 5 Favorite Movies for English Fluency

hey Naturals I have a question for you have you  ever thought about how some people seem to stay  

stuck at the same level in English forever I don't  know maybe you feel this way and other people seem  

to learn easily quickly so naturally they speak  confidently well I've noticed a pattern and my  

students who learn more quickly they are going  outside of pres finding materials like movies that  

they enjoy and using those to their advantage  strategically using movies that they enjoy to  

improve their fluency their listening skills  vocabulary even their speaking skills because  

of course you can follow along and you can you can  Shadow you can speak along with the movie and not  

only does it improve their language skills but  movies improve their cultural understanding so  

they're able to understand jokes kind of Insider  cultural jokes that others just don't understand  

if they haven't seen these movies and don't know  the cultural context so in this video I'm going  

to share five of my favorite American movies that  will help you improve your fluency in the English  

language so I think they'll be not only fun and  enjoyable but they'll also help help you reach  

your language learning goals and I want to share  a really cool app that I've found called lingo  

that helps us to learn languages through movies  I absolutely love the app I love the concept  

because this is something that I've done forever  you know watching movies in the languages that  

I'm learning but sometimes the movies can feel  overwhelming it's a lot to watch in English or  

in the language that you're learning for 2 hours  so lingo Pai helps break it down and I'm going to  

show you exactly how it works just keep watching  until the end so you can see how this can really  

benefit your English fluency when I was learning  Spanish I was lucky enough to spend a semester  

abroad in a Spanish-speaking country but when  I got back home I was struggling with keeping  

my Spanish up and I felt really stuck so one way  that I immersed myself in the Spanish language  

was to watch movies in Spanish and this is a  way that you can keep your English up and keep  

improving it now without further Ado I'd like to  share my top five movies my recommendations for  

you perhaps for this weekend you could watch  them if you haven't yet and let me know what  

you think and I'd like to ask you to leave your  favorite movies in English in the comments ments  

and maybe we can share and Swap and recommend  movies to each other that we'd enjoy all right  

I'll be watching for your comments number five is  The Devil Wears product I absolutely loved this  

movie it's set in the fashion industry and for  language learning it features both informal and  

formal English so if you're curious about how the  English language changes when you're around your  

friends versus your colleagues or a work situation  where you want to be more professional more formal  

this is the movie to watch it's rich in idiomatic  expressions and you're going to learn a lot about  

culture maybe it will even help you to freshen up  your style as well so if you want to understand  

everyday English conversations The Devil Wears  product should be high on your movies to watch

The Social Network offers insight into modern  American culture complete with tech vocabulary  

the jargon may be a little Advanced for some but  it is great for advancing your English language  

and if you work in this field or you talk a lot  about technology or social networking then this is  

a great movie for you to watch it offers insight  into modern American culture and Global culture  

for that matter because social networking is  global of course but this is a really great  

movie to watch if you're interested in technical  vocabulary it features contemporary language with  

clear enunciation and everyday conversation it  is fastpaced so it's great if you want to advance

get to see the south of the us through the various  themes and you get to meet various characters that  

really make the storyline come alive some  of these characters are iconic the dialogue  

is straightforward but the movie also gives you  a glimpse into American history can you guess
