When I finished my English course I knew I had a lot to learn, and watching friends helped me a lot with it. Studying English with a sitcom or a movie is one of the best ways to memorize vocabulary. Here it is how you should do it:
- Watch it with the subtitles and pay attention to the vocabulary you don’t know.
- Watch it with the subtitles and see how much you can remember and please check the vocabulary you don’t remember to memorize it.
- Watch it without the subtitles.
- Have fun learning it.
These are some of the vocabularies from the episode:
When finding a word in Portuguese is somewhat hard, you will notice that I use English for the definition, this way helps to start thinking in English. I hope you make the best of it.
