Watching Overseas Drama for Learning English


This time I would like to write about using overseas drama for learning English.

If you watch an overseas drama once, you will be captivated and you will want to watch it again, right? Overseas dramas are different from Japan, and the story is very long.

 

There are many good points that you can learn English by watching drama. First, listening skills will improve with the English voice. Moreover, it becomes easier to understand English with subtitles. More than anything, the conversation used in overseas drama has expressions that can be used even in our daily life. I think it's an effective way to learn English it you are interested or you watch a drama you like. And if you watch any overseas drama series, you will hear the same words many times. Listening to it, you can understand that "this expression has come again and can be used in this scene and various places". I think that it is easiest to learn English most by watching the drama you like.

 

TSUTAYA has various overseas dramas and if you toll ok, you can also watch dramas on TV, PC or mobile phone.

I watched the Vampire Diaries.

Next, I will introduce expressions that can be use in our daily life.

1 Seriously?

2 Excuse me

3 I'm so sorry


"Seriously?" means “Are you sure?”
 
"Excuse me?" means “What did you say?” You can also use it when you want someone to repeat or when you get angry.

"I'm so sorry" is used when you really apologize to your friend. Sometimes you can use “so” up to 3 times.

Extensive Reading's good points

イメージ
In my college life, I studied English at home and at school, I took English exams, I read books of English conversation. But when I studied English and thought that it was “difficult”, I felt tired feelings and my motivation disappeared. I did my homework, read a story, answered some questions, and wrote my impression, but if I didn't understand the sentences, I stopped reading…… But if you do it like that, the deadline will surely come. Even school and examinations come. I can’t not do my homework. Then, how can you motivate yourself? It is good if you can enjoy studying English. If you enjoy studying English, and you can think you want to learn English better, you can do your homework enjoyably. If so, how can you study and have fun? About that, I would like to introduce my ideas on this blog. Of course, it is my recommended study method, but your feelings of studying may change. Please try it. This theme is extensive reading . At Tsurumi University, we have...

Diary

In my last blog, I want to introduce as a way to learn English diary. The more you write in your diary, you will be able to look back on your memories in the future. When you read it, you will think that your English will improve even more. Writing diary is a person worried about becoming three day boss, that is fine. I think that I don't have to write in my diary every day. It is good to write only on a day when you have fun memories. When I feel sad or when I have forgotten to write in my diary, I shouldn't worry? I should stop writing for a while. It's ok to write at my favorite pace. At the bookstore and the library at the school has books that how to write  a schedule notebook in English, frequently used words to write a diary, and so on. You can memorize even if you don't understand some words look at the book and write words. I also started to write diary after watched the overseas drama "Vampire Diaries" I introduced previously. It's a lot ...
