English Documentaries with Subtitles: Learn and Practice

[bitheerani319]

One of the most common pieces of advice given when someone is learning English is to consume content in that language. We've already talked about the best movies to learn English before , but today we're going to talk about a different genre: documentaries.

While movies help us with the naturalness of our everyday dialogues and expressions, documentaries can greatly help us structure our presentations on topics, while giving us a great depth of technical vocabulary, explaining the meaning and nuances of each word.


Before we start, let's remember some practical tips
First of all, always use English subtitles. It's tempting to put saudi arabia phone number list in Spanish, but then it's too easy to tune out the audio and just read. Plus, this way you'll be able to learn how to spell the new words you learn.

If you find it too difficult, you can start with documentaries you have already seen, or at least with topics you know well.

If, on the other hand, you want to expand and practice more, you can look for discussion forums on the topic you have just seen. In this way, you will not only gain more information, but you can also encourage yourself to write, and thus practice your argumentative skills through writing.
