119: I can't understand English TV

Mateusz asks: "I have trouble understanding TV in English. What should I do?"

In this episode:
  • TV, movies and radio are "larger than life" and often contain language that's not common or everyday
  • Watching TV can help, but it's not a quick fix
  • Focus your study on material can be effectively studied, then use your free time for immersion, using TV, radio, or whatever you like
Resources mentioned in this episode: Start speaking today
