In fact, you can learn English with any kind of English media! Many of the websites on our list have videos that don&#8217;t specifically teach English.<\/p>\n<p>That means you&#8217;ll need to watch them like you would watch a movie or a show: by keeping your eyes and ears open, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/english\/learn-english-subtitles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">watching for the purpose of learning<\/a> (and not just to be entertained).<\/p>\n<p>Before you start, <strong>it&#8217;s useful to have a goal<\/strong>. What are you hoping to learn from the videos you watch? <strong>Keep a notebook nearby<\/strong> for writing down new words, phrases and other useful information. After each video, describe the video in your own words, either out loud or on paper.<\/p>\n<p>If the video you watched is short, it might help to watch it twice\u2014once for understanding (by watching it through without pausing) and once for learning (by taking notes or replaying certain parts).<\/p>\n<p>What kind of learning you do depends on what you watch for. Here are some ideas to get you started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Watch for the language.<\/strong> Listen to the way vocabulary, grammar and phrases are used.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch for the people.<\/strong> Listen to the accents and slang. Watch for the difference between the way people speak, and what it tells you about their place in society. In other words, who uses professional English? Who uses slang? This can tell you a lot about people and their culture. Speaking of which&#8230;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch for the culture.<\/strong> People speak differently depending on where they&#8217;re from. Watch for the differences that location has on people&#8217;s English.
