Stay tuned for more!

Step 1 - Choose a TV Show to Watch!

Consider these before you start:

  • Pick up a fav genre


There's nothing as bad as watching something you don't like. However, for the start we'd recommend to take the shows with a more 'general stuff' storytelling. And try avoid for the first time too specific shows, loaded with terms. But you'll surely get to that later, we promise!

  • Make sure the show you've chosen is provided with decent subtitles


It'll be a bit weird at first, reading from the screen, but we promise - it'll do only good for you! What do we mean by decent, you may wonder. Well, try to find subs made by a native speaker or a collab of a native speakers. Such subs will be more accurate.

  • Don't rush yourself with the episodes - even if the story is really cool and you want more. Take it easy.


Plunging into the TV Shows' world is exciting as well as dangerous. You may find yourself whining over a plot twist, or your fav character's death... Wait a moment, we're talking about studying purposes, aren't we? So, try watching one ep as attentively as you can - make notes of fav words/phrases and the more times you re-watch the ep, try not to look at the subs, but listen. Only when you are 200% sure you got everything, move on! Btw, you can always go back to the previous ep to clarify things!

So what TV series would you get your teeth sunk into?
