lluvia-de-albondigasALGUNOS CONSEJOS BUENOS PARA MIRAR Y APRENDER

Watch a movie you have seen in your language. If you are already familiar with the plot, you will not worry about missing anything. I suggest watching the movie a few times with the subtitles in English first. Even though subtitles are usually a summary of what actors are really saying, it helps you get the gist of it.  

Focus on short segments where there is only one voice (or two at the most). Not only are there many of variations of pronunciation and intonation in the different Spanish speaking countries, but each person also has his or her own way of speaking. This said, jumping into a conversation with many speakers may turn out to be a little frustrating (particularly if you are expecting to understand every single word that everyone is saying).

Pair up. …it wouldn’t hurt to get together with a friend who is in your same situation. He or she can supply those words/phrases/key points you missed, and you can help each other when either of you gets lost! Moreover, this person can be your partner to role-play the dialogues you already learned by heart…

Listen to a line, pause, repeat, and go back a few times. Sometimes you may feel like you are making fun of the actors. But mocking them might be just the secret to get closer to the original pronunciation and intonation of Spanish. Once you’ve done this a few times, you can try “talking” to the movie. For example, choose a role in the dialogue.  After you learn that role, pause and say each line before it’s said in the movie. Then, listen to the original line and check how close you got. Change roles. …also try recording your part and then compare it to the movie’s.

Look up new words and review them. …the most effective way to learn from movies is to actually take the time to look words up, write them down, and review them on a regular basis. It’s not a simple hack, but it works.
