Watching English TV

Watching English TV is a great way to improve your English listening and vocabulary skills. Whether you watch cartoons, football matches, news reports or films, everything you watch will help your understand spoken English better.

Four tips for watching English TV

- don't try to understand every word or phrase, but focus on general understanding
- watch news reports in English after you've seen the news in your own language so you can already predict some of the facts and opinions
- read the subtitles in your own language if they're available, to give you greater confidence in your listening ability
- use youtube to find short videos (being able to watch them as often as you need makes it less stressful!)
