Hi Mia,
I hope you're doing well.
I wanted to share an article I just read about using anime to practice English.
The article made an interesting argument: that watching anime with English subtitles can really help learners improve.
The writer analyzed how listening to the characters and reading English at the same time is a useful approach.
They even gave tips on choosing simple shows and how to articulate your thoughts after watching an episode, like retelling the story or discussing your favorite character.
Personally, I agree with their approach.
I’ve tried it myself!
After watching an episode, I pause to analyze the main points and try to articulate my opinion on the plot.
Sometimes, I notice how an argument between characters is translated, and it helps me learn new phrases.
The article also suggested writing a short review after watching, which I think could be a good habit.
If you’re looking for a new way to practice English, maybe you can give anime with English subtitles a try.
Let me know if you find any good shows—or if you want to discuss an episode together!
Take care,
Sam
