Watch Movies and TV in French

Movies are an excellent tool for learning foreign languages. If you love watching
movies in your free time, why not watch them in French? This activity will help you
better understand the communication patterns of the language and get a grasp of the
culture. An additional benefit of watching French movies is that they stimulate your
brain to think in French.

We recommend you watch movies with French subtitles at first, but try turning them
off after time so you can improve your listening and comprehension without relying on
reading. Also, don’t hesitate to pause, take notes, and repeat some phrases. This
comprehensive list of movies for learning French will come in handy.

Pro tip: While it may be tempting to deep dive into original French TV series and
movies, it might be easier to start with English language movies you know already
that have been dubbed in French (a common practice in France). This is so that you
don’t have to worry about following the plot while understanding the French.
