Watching films may be the most effective way to learn another language. Especially for someone learning English, the range of material is extremely varied. Cinema can help the language learning in several aspects.
The viewer picks up a busload op vocabulary. The good thing about cinema, is that you get images. This way, you gets an illustration when he doesn't understand what a word means. Personally, I don't think that an advanced language learner should watch English films with subtitles in their own language. You read the sentences in your own language before they are pronounced in English and subsequently, you don't get motivated to think any more. The opportunity to learn passes you by. I prefer to watch English films without subtitles, but sometimes it is hard to understand the actors and then I opt for English subtitles. The great advantage in that, is that you also learn a lot about spelling.
Watching films must stay fun, but it is always nice to learn something at the same time.
