Taking courage
in the time of summer holiday I decided to start watching my favourite series in original. I have also tried it with films but this isn't always easy. The last film I saw in the original was Maleficent. This film I consider as an easy one. I understood pretty well and the strory was really nice. Although with some more complicated film I still use subtitles.
I have watched series like the Big bang theory, The Originals, Arrow, Revenge, Game of thrones etc. in original. Some of them were for me difficult but the knowledge of the characters or story (Game of thrones I have read) help me a lot. By watching them I found out one very important thing I was so used to the subtitles that I convinced myself that I wouldn´t have understood without them. I spent to much time reading instead of listening that I didn´t realize before. I helps me in many ways; I focus better on speaking, understand more even the accents and I use some new phrases unconsciously, without learning them. I don´t say that I understand one hundred percent but I definately feel progress in my language and pleasure when I manage to see all the film with the same experience as with subtitles.
