1. You see the real language being used.

When you see a tv show, you have contact with slang words, the structure of phrases and how native speakers use it, so your learning process will be faster.

2. The context will help you to learn new words.

You can learn a lot of words by the context of what is happening. In general, the phrases are linked to the actions.

3. You learn different meanings of the words that you never knew before.

In my case, watching greek series, I realised that έμαθα (I learned) can also be "I found out!"

4. You'll understand everything with time

Maybe when you start to see the show you won't understand anything at all...in a while you notice that you can understand a few words...with time you'll be able to understand everything, but the process takes time...

Don't be sad if you can't understand at the first take. With practise, you train your brain in the language and a little by little you’ll improve not only your listening skills, but also your target language.

5. Tips

-If you are a beginner start with subtitles BUT I recommend that you start with subtitles in your target language! Why? If you put the subtitles on another language, may you don't pay attention to the language you want to speak, and this will make your process slowly.

- when you feel comfortable, turn off the subtitles and start to see without them! I’m sure you can!

- don't say (or think) "I can't understand it" it will ruin your process. Think, instead: "I understood this word!!!" This will give your brain the motivation you need to keep going. Remember: you don't go upstairs all in once, right? Little by little you'll get there!!

- take notes of words or slang words! It will make you remember them later.

-and most important: have fun! Learning a language must be fun and a pleasure thing.

A strategy I follow is: Earn money, save some money, invest some money, save some money and then repeat. Repeat until your money makes you money. Sounds crazy, doesn't it? But it actually is achievable and pretty practical because then you do not need to work. Then, you can do whatever you want. But it requires a lot of hustle, grind and struggle in the start. One of my characteristics as an entrepreneur is my ability diving into subjects/skills before I even know the whole concept or even without knowing anything about it. I can say that my enthusiasm about a variety of things has let me do this. To make it more simple, when I learn about a hobby I want to be enagaged with, I put my head down and try to gather as many as possible information about it. This fact, give me the permission to take action on it really soon. So, in other terms, I get to master anything I want...
