Friends is an excellent sitcom that one can enjoy and learn the language from it as well. The show has a clear enunciation and slower speech rate that one can keep up with. Also, having subtitles can help you learn a lot faster. Not only does one learn the language but also the culture

English cannot be imitated just by watching English shows, you can only grasp the accent. Although there are certain shows which when you watch, you can definitely focus more on the way the characters are speaking and also the vocabulary of words that strike you so much, and keeping a note of the words. Later finding the meaning of such words and try to use them in appropriate places wherever required. So you can watch True Detective, Crown, House of cards. But reading good noteworthy English stories and daily editorials will always rescue you alot. read less

Can you share your teething problems while learning English? A 1970's Anecdote goes as follows....... I studied in six various schools across the length and breadth of Tamil Nadu. Medium was Tamil. I couldn't interact with my classmates in English during my Professional College days. Many of them were from reputed English Medium schools. They were using slang words picked up from English Novels. It added insult to injury as my status in normal Spoken English was in a bad shape. Once I met one of such Silver tongued English Speaking classmates while travelling by a day train down to South.Our conversation was bi-lingual,me inevitably sticking to Tamil and he with his gift-of-the-gab English,that too in American accent.The eight hour journey went on hilariously and co-passengers were perplexed but pitied me for my inability to deliver even one word of English.He alighted at one of en route stations where his father had come to collect him. To our surprise his illiterate father started enquiring about his journey etc, in local Tamil and my friend replying in fluent Tamil.
I started off speaking english at a very young age no matter I was speaking right or wrong. People used to stop me while I spoke wrong English. But I saw with time, those errors were gone. Later on I determined...
