Rent or buy an English movie DVD. Put the English subtitles on. Follow the movie.
This has many advantages:
- You will be able to compare the written words to the correct pronunciations.
- You will get a feel of how real English sentences are formed when speaking.
- You will be learning English but it will not be frustrating and boring because you will be watching a movie.
Please note: When you watch the movie be sure to keep your dictionary handy. Whenever you come across a new word, pause the movie and look it up in the dictionary. If you don’t do this, the whole experience will be quite pointless.
