Description
Love them or hate them, watching romantic comedies (or romcoms) can be a great way to improve your English listening skills so you can catch what native speakers say when they talk fast.
Romantic comedies are fun to watch and are centred around a theme that we can all relate to: the search for love! Plus these movies usually follow the same basic structure which makes them easy to follow. And they enable you to learn everyday, conversational language that you can use in real life (and not just for dating and romance!).
But how can you actually use movies to improve your listening skills and understand native speakers in conversation? If you've been passively listening to movies or just watching them with subtitles , then you'll know that this is not enough to understand fast speech.
That's why I created "Catch Fast Native English with Romcoms". To help you better understand spoken English by working with short romantic comedy clips and active listening techniques that will teach you how English really sounds.

I help intrepid travellers and adventurous expats improve their English listening skills through doing what they love. I teach you to use movies and TV shows to understand fast-talking native English speakers and and fit in with them. I've been living abroad since 2007 in France and improving my listening skills has been the key to connecting with the locals and improving my speaking and pronunciation skills. I'd love to help you do the same thing in English so you can thrive, not just survive in your new life abroad.
