Did you know that most shows Netflix creates in-house come pre-loaded with audio in other languages?
Me neither. Not to mention a whole bunch of other shows. Until I went exploring one day and discovered a whole wealth of language gold hidden right there, in my Netflix account.
So then I started to click around. I wonder if this is in French? What about this? What about this?
Watching movies in your target language is a great way to supplement your language learning. It helps you master the first stage of learning a language by ear: your capacity to hear and understand the sounds being made.
Plus, you don’t have to feel guilty about spending time on the couch watching TV!
But they speak too quickly… I can’t make out all the words… I don’t know what’s going on.
Do any of those sound familiar?
Often, in movies, characters will speak quickly, speak in accents, or drop some of the sounds altogether. This is often why some people struggle to understand movies in foreign languages. But this is how natives really sound.
When you learn a language by eye (i.e. you start with learning reading, writing, and grammar) you struggle to put language into practice, both auditorily and verbally.
So here’s where Netflix comes in. The more you listen to a language, the more you’ll be able to differentiate its sounds. This will help you differentiate words and then whole sentences. It’s a cheap way of immersing yourself in a language without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home.
Here is our ultimate list of every Netflix show in your target language.
Sit back, relax, and let the shows begin!
