Do you use subtitles when you watch a film or Netflix show in English? Is it a good idea to use subtitles? Do subtitles help you learn English or do they get in the way?
I’ve been thinking a bit about this for the last few days and chatting with people on Facebook. Keep reading to find out what I think you should do. Has this ever happened to you? You’re having a conversation in English and suddenly you realise that you don’t know a word that you need. Or perhaps you do know it really but you just can’t remember it at that moment. You freeze and don’t know what to do or say next. Then either there’s a long, awkward silence or you just change the subject because you can’t finish saying what you want to say.
So how can you fix this problem? Today, I’d like to talk to you about dialects. In your country, do people speak your language in slightly different ways depending on where they’re from? Probably yes. And if you speak a language which is spoken in many countries, like Spanish or Arabic, there are probably even more differences, right?
