hello everyone so recently I noticed

00:02 - 00:07

that some of the trees outside have

00:04 - 00:09

already started to change colors and

00:07 - 00:12

that can only mean one thing which is

00:09 - 00:15

that fall is coming and fall is my

00:12 - 00:17

absolute favorite season so I'm pretty

00:15 - 00:20

excited fall is honestly such a great

00:17 - 00:22

season like the weather is perfect

00:20 - 00:24

there's so many holidays there's so much

00:22 - 00:27

great food and The Vibes are just

00:24 - 00:29

perfect so today I wanted to share some

00:27 - 00:30

of my favorite movies that kind of

00:29 - 00:33

encaps

00:30 - 00:35

this feeling and Vibe of fall and you

00:33 - 00:38

guys could also use these movies as a

00:35 - 00:40

way to practice some English and at the

00:38 - 00:42

end of this video I'll be sharing some

00:40 - 00:45

really good tips for how to efficiently

00:42 - 00:47

learn a language by watching a movie or

00:45 - 00:49

anything like that and I'll be sharing

00:47 - 00:51

some of the methods that I used when I

00:49 - 00:53

was learning Chinese a long time ago so

00:51 - 00:56

make sure to stick around to the end

00:53 - 00:57

okay so the first one is called Knives

00:56 - 01:00

Out in English we would probably call

00:57 - 01:03

this kind of movie who done it or a

01:00 - 01:06

murder mystery kind of movie so someone

01:03 - 01:08

dies in the very beginning of the movie

01:06 - 01:11

and then you're trying to figure out who

01:08 - 01:13

is the person responsible for his death

01:11 - 01:15

so it's really really good the story is

01:13 - 01:17

really good there's so many twists and

01:15 - 01:19

turns and it's really really interesting

01:17 - 01:21

to watch but also I just feel like this

01:19 - 01:24

movie is so beautiful there's so many

01:21 - 01:27

fall colors throughout the movie and I

01:24 - 01:29

just can feel that like crispness in the

01:27 - 01:31

air when I watch this movie I don't know

01:29 - 01:33

how but I I do most people in this movie

01:31 - 01:36

speak very clearly it's very easy to

01:33 - 01:38

follow along except there is one

01:36 - 01:41

detective he speaks English with a very

01:38 - 01:43

strong Creole accent so that might be

01:41 - 01:45

kind of hard to understand but other

01:43 - 01:48

than that it should be fine so the next

01:45 - 01:50

movie is Goodwill Hunting and this is

01:48 - 01:53

one of my favorite movies of all time

01:50 - 01:56

and it also takes place in Boston it's

01:53 - 01:59

shot in Boston which to me just feels

01:56 - 02:01

like the most Fall City ever like it

01:59 - 02:04

just has that kind of fall vibe in

02:01 - 02:05

Boston I don't know why maybe because

02:04 - 02:07

the first time I went to Boston was

02:05 - 02:10

during the fall so maybe it's just a me

02:07 - 02:12

thing but it's such a beautiful movie

02:10 - 02:15

the story is also very touching and very

02:12 - 02:19

moving and very interesting it's about a

02:15 - 02:21

guy who's a janitor at the school and

02:19 - 02:23

the professors realized that he's

02:21 - 02:26

actually some kind of Genius but he

02:23 - 02:29

doesn't really have this drive to study

02:26 - 02:31

and work hard so throughout the movie

02:29 - 02:34

he's kind of working with this therapist

02:31 - 02:36

and trying to get past these personal

02:34 - 02:38

problems that they have and it's really

02:36 - 02:40

really touching the kinds of

02:38 - 02:42

conversations that they have so I would

02:40 - 02:44

definitely definitely recommend this

02:42 - 02:47

movie one more thing about this movie is

02:44 - 02:50

that in the movie the actors are kind of

02:47 - 02:53

trying to have a Boston accent and the

02:50 - 02:56

Boston accent isn't really that

02:53 - 02:58

different from Standard English but some

02:56 - 03:00

of the vowels they'll kind of make them

02:58 - 03:03

a little bit longer or a little bit like

03:00 - 03:05

rounder somehow so just pay attention to

03:03 - 03:07

that but really it's not that big of a

03:05 - 03:09

deal there's not a huge difference if

03:07 - 03:13

you're just listening to this movie so

03:09 - 03:14

the next movie is Fantastic Mr Fox and

03:13 - 03:17

this one might be a little bit different

03:14 - 03:19

for some people it's a stop motion

03:17 - 03:22

animation movie but it's really really

03:19 - 03:24

good the story is so captivating and

03:22 - 03:26

there's a lot of different themes going

03:24 - 03:28

on at once and the characters are really

03:26 - 03:31

complex and you really start to care

03:28 - 03:33

about them and also the English in this

03:31 - 03:35

movie is very very clear it's very easy

03:33 - 03:38

to follow along with so I definitely

03:35 - 03:41

recommend this one also the color scheme

03:38 - 03:44

in this movie is very very orange and it

03:41 - 03:46

just gives me that like warm fall Vibe

03:44 - 03:48

so this is something I definitely

03:46 - 03:51

rewatch like every fall to get me into

03:48 - 03:53

the mood so these are some movies that I

03:51 - 03:55

would recommend if you want to get into

03:53 - 03:58

the fall Vibe but also learn some

03:55 - 04:01

English at the same time and I know some

03:58 - 04:03

people are probably thinking like oh I

04:01 - 04:05

watch English movies all the time I

04:03 - 04:08

watch English shows all the time but I

04:05 - 04:10

still can't learn anything so how is

04:08 - 04:13

this going to help me I understand like

04:10 - 04:16

if you just purely watch English content

04:13 - 04:18

while focusing on the translation

04:16 - 04:21

focusing on subtitles then you're

04:18 - 04:23

obviously not going to learn anything

04:21 - 04:25

and it's not going to be that helpful so

04:23 - 04:28

here are some tips that I personally

04:25 - 04:31

used when I learned Chinese that'll help

04:28 - 04:33

you to efficiently learn a language

04:31 - 04:35

while watching a movie okay and first I

04:33 - 04:38

do have to say that you're going to want

04:35 - 04:41

to pick a movie that you actually really

04:38 - 04:42

enjoy watching because for this method

04:41 - 04:45

to work you're going to have to

04:42 - 04:47

repeatedly watch the same thing over and

04:45 - 04:49

over a few times so if you think one of

04:47 - 04:52

the movies I recommended sounds

04:49 - 04:54

interesting you can give it a try or you

04:52 - 04:56

can also do this with a movie that you

04:54 - 04:58

already know that you love for the first

04:56 - 05:00

time watching something new you can go

04:58 - 05:04

ahead and use the translation use the

05:00 - 05:06

subtitles and just enjoy the movie so

05:04 - 05:08

understand the story understand the

05:06 - 05:10

characters and just have fun but it

05:08 - 05:12

doesn't just end here there's a lot of

05:10 - 05:15

work to do afterwards and this doesn't

05:12 - 05:18

have to be all in the same day but maybe

05:15 - 05:21

a few days later go back and watch the

05:18 - 05:23

same movie only with English subtitles

05:21 - 05:25

and no translation and the purpose of

05:23 - 05:28

doing this is to try and create this

05:25 - 05:30

English environment for yourself because

05:28 - 05:32

you already know the story already know

05:30 - 05:35

what's going to happen and what the

05:32 - 05:38

movie is about so this time just really

05:35 - 05:41

focus on English focus on the sounds

05:38 - 05:44

focus on the sentences focus on how they

05:41 - 05:46

speak and also just try to really get

05:44 - 05:48

the feel of the language even if there

05:46 - 05:50

are things that you don't really

05:48 - 05:53

understand just keep going and try to

05:50 - 05:55

immerse yourself in the language and the

05:53 - 05:58

third time watching is when the real

05:55 - 06:00

work really comes in so for this you can

05:58 - 06:02

choose some of your favorite scenes from

06:00 - 06:05

the movie and try to watch it without

06:02 - 06:08

any subtitles at all and just pick up on

06:05 - 06:10

as much as you possibly can and try to

06:08 - 06:12

understand what's going on and what's

06:10 - 06:15

they're saying after watching a scene

06:12 - 06:18

without subtitles you can go back and

06:15 - 06:20

watch it with subtitles but this time

06:18 - 06:22

you're going to want to pause after

06:20 - 06:25

every single sentence that they say so

06:22 - 06:27

when you pause after each sentence you

06:25 - 06:31

want to try to understand what is being

06:27 - 06:33

said and also you want to repeat after

06:31 - 06:35

whoever is talking in the movie and try

06:33 - 06:37

to copy the way that they're saying the

06:35 - 06:40

sentence the feeling that they have and

06:37 - 06:43

also the pronunciation of course and if

06:40 - 06:46

you're a visual learner like me it also

06:43 - 06:49

helps if you write down this sentence so

06:46 - 06:51

it really gets engraved in your mind and

06:49 - 06:53

later on in real life you might use the

06:51 - 06:55

same sentence or you might have

06:53 - 06:57

something from the sentence that you

06:55 - 07:00

learned and can apply it to other things

06:57 - 07:02

in the future and another big tip I have

07:00 - 07:04

for pronunciation is when you're

07:02 - 07:06

watching these movies when you're

07:04 - 07:08

repeating what this person is saying in

07:06 - 07:11

the movies pay attention to their mouth

07:08 - 07:13

and how their mouth is moving when they

07:11 - 07:15

talk because honestly English and

07:13 - 07:18

Chinese there's a lot of pronunciation

07:15 - 07:20

differences but if you can understand

07:18 - 07:22

what's going on in their mouth and copy

07:20 - 07:24

that then you're going to be able to get

07:22 - 07:27

a more authentic pronunciation this is

07:24 - 07:30

also how I learn Chinese okay I really

07:27 - 07:32

paid attention to how people talk talked

07:30 - 07:35

and copied the way that they talked you

07:32 - 07:37

whether that be my teacher or someone in

07:35 - 07:40

a movie or anything like that this is

07:37 - 07:42

really really really important so for me

07:40 - 07:44

I've always felt like language is a kind

07:42 - 07:47

of puzzle and there may be different

07:44 - 07:49

methods of putting the same puzzle

07:47 - 07:52

together but we all have to do it piece

07:49 - 07:54

by piece and each word that you learn

07:52 - 07:57

each phrase each sentence that you

07:54 - 07:59

understand is just one step closer to

07:57 - 08:01

putting the whole puzzle together any

07:59 - 08:03

anyway I hope these tips were helpful

08:01 - 08:05

they were definitely really helpful for

08:03 - 08:07

me when I was learning Chinese

08:05 - 08:09

especially in the beginning and I hope

08:07 - 08:12

that if you watch some of the movies I

08:09 - 08:13

recommended today that you'll enjoy them

08:12 - 08:16

and be able to learn some English from

08:13 - 08:19

them as well and to be honest I just

08:16 - 08:21

really love a good story I've always

08:19 - 08:24

been like this I have so many movies and

08:21 - 08:27

TV shows books and even games to

08:24 - 08:28

recommend if you guys would like more of

08:27 - 08:30

these kinds of videos just let me know

08:28 - 08:34

in the comments and I'll see you guys

08:30 - 08:34

next time okay bye-bye
