Have you sat down before to watch a movie in English?

You know the feeling. You’re excited to immerse yourself for a couple of hours in the language and culture.

But after a couple of scenes, your dreams of watching an entire film in English are shattered.

  • You can’t follow the dialogue
  • You think you’ve understood the plot but you’re not sure what’s happening
  • What on earth is that character saying?
  • You start to think – this is pointless!

Before long, the subtitles are back on and you’re finger is hovering over the off button.

You give up and decide watching films in English is just not for you.

But what if there was a way to immerse yourself in a whole variety of different films and TV series, without all this stress and frustration?

What if you could enjoy learning from films and developing your understanding with short clips?
