The Biggest Lie: “Just Watch Movies” 🎬❌ | B1–B2 English Listening

Описание: 🎬❌ Do you think you can become fluent if you “just watch movies”?

In this episode of Alp English Podcast, Mia and Ben talk about a popular myth in English learning.
Movies and series can help your listening, but they don’t automatically improve your speaking.
You’ll learn a simple method to turn movies into real practice.

🎧 Level: B1–B2
🗣️ Skills: Listening & speaking
📚 Grammar focus: used to vs be used to

In this episode, you will:

Understand the difference between passive and active watching
Learn how to study with short scenes (not 2-hour binge watching)
Practice “shadowing” to improve pronunciation
Learn useful vocabulary for learning with movies
Use “used to / be used to” to talk about habits and progress
Useful patterns:

I used to + verb…
I’m used to + noun / verb-ing…
I pause and repeat the phrase.
I learn a lot from subtitles.
I watch once for meaning, then again for practice.
Questions for you:

What do you watch in English these days?
Do you use subtitles? If yes, which kind?
What’s one phrase you “stole” from a movie recently?
