C. Listen one more time with subtitles. Stop when you come across one word. Write down the sentence it is in. Take your time to fully understand its meaning.
D. Listen again without subtitles. Did you recognize the words? Can you tell how much more you understand now? Rate from 1 to 5. Was there an improvement? What do you think happened? Could you use this activity for other shows/movies?
E. Practice. Choose 5 words and then:
Level 1: Write a sentence with each.
For example, We wear tank tops in the summer.
Level 2: Write a sentence including two words in each.
For example, I need to pack 5 tanktops for my summer vacation!
Level 3: Write sentences using the maximum number of words.
For example, I'm not kidding when I say that I'm worried about my freedom because I can no longer wear tank tops on public transportation. I find this very creepy.
