Step 6 - Watching Episodes without Subs

This is what a constant work will get you. You will be able to watch any show without subs and understand almost all.

Step 5 - Revision

Nothing much, only re-watching, re-writing and repeating the stuff!
Practice makes it perfect, they say.
In case you're in need of an extra motivation:

Step 4 - Post-Episode Check

Well,  after watching every ep you are to check yourself - how well you got the idea and so on.
Use these as an example of how to do it.

Step 3 - Understanding Check

Woo-ho! First ep has been watched! It's time to check how much you've got! And time to practice!

Pronunciation

You may say it's an easy part, but nah, it's not. The best thing you can do now is simply REPEATING. I mean it. Choose your fav couple of sentences or even your fav chara's monologue, have a txt copy of it in front of your eyes and REPEAT after the speaker. REPEAT EVERY WORD LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. At first you'll be absolutely awful. I'm not talking about transcribing the unknown words, as it may be useful only for those who can read the transcription. Your task at this stage is to UNDERSTAND how the speaker pronounces the word. And, basically, to copy and imitate. For example, my fav monologue is Riario's from Da Vinci's Demons. It starts like "Now that we've established my propensity for directness, I trust our conversation will proceed smoothly."

Vocabulary

Remember, we've talked about the notebook? It's time to use it! You can write sentences with your fav words or even make a story!
Like this one:

• What you can do to check your vocabulary knowledge?

1. Find your native language subs and try to translate as many lines as you can in Eng
2. Disable subs while watching at any moment and write down as many words as you can
3. Set a number of words you can learn from each ep (+ those which are interesting for you). E.g., Learn 10 words and 20 expressions amd increase the number of what you can learn gradually.

Grammar

1. Pick up 10 sentences from the episode in Eng and analyze any grammar phenomena you can spot.
2. Think of a grammar topic you are often confused about. Pick up the sentences from the episode, translate them and pay attention to the phenomenon you are unsure about.

E.g. I had to make an article test once about, based on my fav TV. In case you watch Da Vinci's Demons, you can use it.

Subtitles: Troubleshooting

It happens that subs aren't available for your show. It's not a reason to get sad, but you have two ways: go hard way or go easy way. It will be also more motivating, if you go hard way - your efforts will be paid off with time. See the subs for your fav shows here Subs

Step 2 - Watching Episodes with Subs

So, you finally chose a show to watch? And you got decent subs? 

I mean, decent ENG subs? We'll go back at watching with your native lang subs, but now our task is to watch the series with Eng subs only. 

'Gratz, you may press 'Play' in your fav player/gadget and start watching! 

We'd recommend to have a notebook for interesting words, phrases with you while watching. Don't be discouraged if you don't get something - simply rewind the episode.
