I'm James, a native English speaker and I also speak Italian and Spanish. I have 11 years of experience with language learning. I help people reach a conversational level in another language.

In this video I talk about how to watch TV series and movies to learn another language most efficiently. They key is, don't look up every word that you don't know. This will disrupt your flow and take you out of the zone. It adds effort and distracts you. You'll pick up new words naturally over time with repeat exposure.

You need to be emotionally invested 'in the zone' of what you're watching - add repeat exposure to this, where you continue watching something over weeks and months and your brain will naturally understand the language.
