Multimedia Japanese Learning

[Silvia Groniewicz]

Hello,

I haven't seen anything about Japanese Learning, but I was quite surprised
when I heard about a way to learn English with movies. A Japanese
businessman obviously noticed that a lot of common dialogues occur in
movies and based his English courses on them. There were five movies in
that course and if you were able to work through them within two years, he
claimed that your English would be fluent for everyday situations (no
Business English). I only remember two of the movies that were used:
"Regarding Henry" and "Sleepless in Seattle".

The person who held a speech about this teaching method was quite good in
spoken English and his pronunciation was pretty good. He was lacking in
written English though, using too many colloquialisms.

It would be interessting if this would also work the other way round. I
would probably choose a Japanese drama as source material :)
