Hong Kong, May 26, 2007 – Nowadays, many people tune in to English TV programs or movies not just for their entertainment value but also for the opportunity to learn the English language. In fact, watching English movies is acknowledged as one of the more common ways to enhance one’s daily conversational skills.
The Chairman of the Hong Kong English Development Association, Mr. Lee, expounded in his article published in Wen Wi Po, a Hong Kong local newspaper, that following the pronunciation, stress, intonation and accent from English radio and TV programs greatly helps in improving one’s listening, reading and English speaking ability.
He also pointed out that simply forgetting the Chinese subtitle and concentrating instead on listening to the English program or movie is also an effective way to learn English.
Former Chief Justice and Executive Council member, the Hon Sir TL Yang, also maintained that we could learn daily spoken English through movies or TV programs easily and that, unlike the traditional or school learning method, it’s a way of learning English without any stress!
While watching English TV programs or movies is a popular way of learning English, some learners also admit that just listening or following the English subtitles alone could be difficult.
Thus, Movielearn, the new edutainment software, is fast gaining ground in the market as an effective and innovative tool in learning everyday spoken English and understanding English- speaking cultures with movies! Movielearn is designed in such a way that, when you do not understand the movie, you can just press the space bar or enter key on your computer, then the movie is paused and takes you into sophisticated learning panels that explain the English in movies.
And now, with its latest DVD release, “Learning English with The Apprentice” gives users the added benefit of learning real life business English and insights into the U.S. business management culture, as well as helps improves one’s negotiation, presentation, and leadership skills.
Movielearn is available in major bookstores such as commercial press, joint publishing and Chunghwa bookstore, and costs $280 only! For more information please visit http://www.movielearn.com
