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!
This classic British comedy from 1979 follows Brian of Nazareth, who was born in the stable next door to Jesus Christ on Christmas day and spends his life being mistaken for the messiah.
This 2001 romance drama starring Juliette Binoche, Johnny Depp and Judi Dench tells the story of a travelling chocolatier that arrives in a small village in France with her daughter at the beginning of lent. The story has many lovable characters whose lives unfold around the little chocolate shop.
This is one to enjoy with the children. Originally a beloved series of books written by British author Beatrix Potter in 1902, the story and speech in this modern movie adaptation are easy to follow.
