3 Easter Movies to Help You Learn English

Suitable for intermediate CEFR B1+

Watching movies is, of course, a perfect way to relax, but it's also great for practising your listening skills and learning new vocabulary. Today I will share with you 3 excellent Easter movies that will keep you entertained whilst improving your English skills.

If you're not confident listening to the rapid speech of native speakers, watch with the subtitles in English (don't have them in another language because you won't learn easily). It's a good idea to keep a notebook beside you to record new and interesting vocabulary. And don't forget, you can also pause and replay as much as you need! 


1. Monty Python's Life of Brian
