How to Improve for Free
Digital TV has given us the real opportunity to access the Original Versions of, not only films, but hundreds of hours of American shows, from The Simpson's to Desperate Housewives.
So what you say, well this is the key to being better at English, if you can develop the habit of changing the language via your remote control, English will come to you without study.
Children learn because they are talked to/at by their parents and grandparents, the TV will do that too.
Plan: every day for the next six months. Switch on TV when you get home, don't sit and watch it, do your normal tasks. You will start to notice words. and slowly your vocabulary and listening skills will improve. Your pronunciation will also benefit.
