This is a quick way to learn spoken English – select a short scene and watch. Read the dialogue and then watch again. Say each line by repeating after each actor/actress. Keep doing this until you can say the lines with the actors/actresses. Now practice saying the lines by turning down the sound. It’s fun, quick and easy to do if you are bored with your usual language learning programme and want a quick change.
Here’s an example from the movie “Meet Joe Black”.

Hi Samespeak. This is the first time I have come across your blog. Very informative. I like the ideas you have expressed as part of this post. I think it is important to listen to short conversations and practice and practice – rather than watching the whole movie. That will just end up confusing the students! Great work. Thanks for the post.
