Hi girls !
This year I'm in a school where some of the lectures are given (not sure give is the right verb here) in English and I just love that ! In fact I'm really proud that I'm able to understand almost everything the teacher is saying, and I'm happy to practice my English as well.
But I just have one problem : I can understand the teachers because they speak really slowly and use simple phrases, but I'm not able to understand a conversation or a conference if the talker does not make an effort so that non-native could understand him. For example, I'm not able to watch a movie without subtitles. I would like to improve that. So, do you think I should still watch videos with subtitles (in English of course) to train my ears ? Or should I watch videos without subtitles, even if that means I would not understand everything but my brain would be less "lazy" and would concentrate more on what is said, and not only on what is written ?
Thanks for your answers ! (Btw, does someone know how to say "Merci d'avance" in English ?)
(Do not hesitate to correct my message if there are some mistakes !)
