Do you think that to watch to tv, you can learn better English or French or other languages? I can say that when i learn French, i watch a lot to TV5, and this help me a lot, to learn and understand. You pay attention when you watch to a movie, how they speak, intonation, expressions?

I am an American living in Mexico. The people in my village that speak English are mostly the younger ones. I have asked many of them how they learned the language and they have said by watching American TV. So.......I have been trying to watch Spanish TV, so far not much luck at all with it. If you say a word to me that I don't understand 100 times I still don't understand it. I have learned the most by interacting with the people as they patiently try to speak with me and we act out things little by little. I guess it just depends on your learning style.

Hi icesmile, I am like playapal, I have moved to Mexico and am trying to learn Spanish. Watching Spanish TV isn't really helping me , because I can't remember the words I pick up from there . I have more luck talking to local folks and by writing the words over and over again ...
