Watching films in original improves your understanding of the language and makes your skills flourish. It’s a fact.
Going out and mixing with Polish people is not recommended these days, so your opportunities to use the language are limited. However, you can use current situation to your advantage and work on your language skills from a comfort of your home. All you have to do is watch Polish films.
My recent discovery is a website called Eastern European Movies
https://easterneuropeanmovies.com/country/poland
where you have access to various films from Eastern Europe.
Worth a try.
Remember that working on your language skills while watching a Polish film will be more effective when:
- you re-tell the plot in Polish
- you describe the main characters and their actions
- talk to someone what do you like about the film and what you didn’t like (acting, directing, theme, storyline etc.)
- read about the film ahead of the viewing, preferably in original
- watch the film more than once – with and without subtitles
- take notes when watching the film, check vocabulary that stop you from understanding the plot, write down a statement or a sentence that stands out
- re-watch scenes one at a time and analyse the language, but don’t aim at understanding every single word
Enjoy a new way of improving your skills!
