Television is everywhere around us. Yet it is great for learning English. The pictures make it easier to understand than radio and because you can see who's talking, and get a better idea of what people mean. Just watch their ＂body language＂! Watch programs that you find enjoyable and entertaining.
Here's the English-at-home.com guide to learning as much as possible while watching English television:
Learning English should be fun — not something that you have to force yourself to do. If you have a passion for football, watch matches or the sports news.
Keep a notebook near to your television. This is especially useful. You can look for programs with subtitles in your own language.
Try to watch English television regularly. Even if you can only watch 15 minutes a day, you'll be amazed how much you learn.
