The are much more efficient ways to increase your vocabulary than watching movies and reading the English subtitles (e.g. reading English books).cuce_amber hat geschrieben:If you lack vocabulary, I recommend watching any (not too trivial) movie with English subtitles.
Pronunciation may be improved later on, when you actually know how to write the words (for example on leo.org, you can find spoken samples).
This will help you to develop a feeling for pronunciation and eventually you should be able to correctly pronounce any new word you encounter.
Watching English movies without subtitles usually increases your listening skills because after some time you get used to the speed of the native speakers.
The correct pronunciation and use of words, you are already kind of familiar with, is something that you might be able to pick up easily too.
After much more time you might even develop a feeling for the correct use of the English language and thereby support your active English skills.
Understanding the meaning of new words from the context they are used in requires a certain amount of vocabulary from the respective area.
This fact and the different dialects will give you the biggest problems. I think, you'll need to remember that watching movies is a rather passive task.
Therefore all these things will take quite some time. So you need to be very patient until you feel any significant change in your English skills.
