In fact, even native speakers sometimes struggle to grasp some of the complexities of the language.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the fact that the word \u2018novel\u2019 has two different meanings: one denotes a type of book, and the other is an adjective describing something possessed of an \u201coriginal\u201d quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that went over your head, you\u2019re not alone. The insufficiency of the English language to describe itself is sort of like trying to describe an orange without mentioning its colour. Hey, look at that &#8211; another word with more than one meaning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all that being said, context is key when it comes to learning any language, and this is especially true for English. And what better way to learn than through film? You get all the exposure without any of the awkwardness of fumbling around for your dictionary to respond. Here are eight of the best English-language movies to help you learn English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Shawshank Redemption<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"The Shawshank Redemption | Official Trailer | Warner Bros.

There are no killer clowns, eldritch deities, or supernatural boogeymen. There are only people with the same flaws and dreams as anyone else you\u2019re likely to meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite not featuring any of Mr. King\u2019s iconic monsters, <em>The Shawshank Redemption<\/em> does display the beloved author\u2019s mastery over dialogue and language, making it a great film to watch if you\u2019re trying to learn or improve your understanding of English. Besides that, it\u2019s an incredible film about the indomitable spirit of humanity in the face of insurmountable odds. And nothing beats that tagline: \u201cFear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.\u201d Indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE - Official Trailer (HD)\" width=\"870\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2QKg5SZ_35I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, and Kevin Hart are three of the world\u2019s most popular and beloved entertainers of the modern era, and having them share the screen provides all the laughs you\u2019d expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While not directly tied to the earlier <em>Jumanji<\/em> film of the nineties, <em>Welcome to the Jungle<\/em> obviously shares the same DNA, especially with regard to its sense of whimsy and adventure. Seeing the Rock perform epic stunts in the middle of explosive set pieces never really gets old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a fun, family-friendly thrill ride, <em>Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle<\/em> is the one for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turn a Movie Into an English Lesson!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, so you have a movie you want to watch to improve your English. Now what? Well, LingQ makes it easy to turn that movie in to a lesson so you can select the words and phrases you don&#8217;t know as you watch.

Let&#8217;s create a lesson with the movie you just read about: <em>Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle<\/em> on Netflix. Now you just need to click on the LingQ Importer icon and then click &#8220;Import&#8221;. Done! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"720\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" width=\"1280\" autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Blog-Images-12.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you can watch and listen, translating any words and phrases you don&#8217;t know in the transcript.

And as if that wasn\u2019t enough, consider that this was Ethan Hawke\u2019s film debut. Yes, <em>that<\/em> Ethan Hawke!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re watching the film for learning or for entertainment, you\u2019re bound to enjoy the experience.

It\u2019s a story about family, about friendship, and about learning to let go of past traumas. It also features talking fish and a well-intentioned great white shark named Bruce &#8211; what\u2019s not to love?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Really, you can\u2019t go wrong with <em>Finding Nemo<\/em>.

While obvious creative liberties have been taken with the film, the story at its heart is true: George had a stammering problem that required the assistance of a professional speech therapist, a man named Lionel Logue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a keen appreciation for language and no shortage of cinematic flair, <em>The King\u2019s Speech <\/em>is a fantastic film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Theory of Everything&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"The Theory of Everything - Official Trailer (Universal Pictures) HD\" width=\"870\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Salz7uGp72c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The story of Professor Stephen Hawking is a tragic one and was not widely known before the release of <em>The Theory of Everything<\/em>. Starring Eddie Redmayne in top form as the acclaimed professor, alongside the ever-fantastic Felicity Jones as his wife, the film chronicles Professor Hawking\u2019s struggles with brilliance &#8211; and, of course, his disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\u2019re unlikely to learn much about science or theoretical physics while watching this film, you will learn about humanity and courage. The story of the late professor is ultimately one of triumph and perseverance through near-insurmountable adversity. And, of course, being a distinguished Englishman, Professor Hawking\u2019s use of the language was first-rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another tear-jerker in the vein of <em>Dead Poets Society<\/em>, ditch your dictionary and bring a box of tissues instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jurassic Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Jurassic Park Official Trailer #1 - Steven Spielberg Movie (1993) HD\" width=\"870\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QWBKEmWWL38?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing you can count on an American filmmaker for, it\u2019s their ability to deliver a great movie-watching experience, and there are few filmmakers in the same class as Steven Spielberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only did Spielberg invent the modern-day blockbuster with <em>Jaws<\/em> in 1975, but he revolutionized the use of special and computer-generated effects with <em>Jurassic Park<\/em> in 1993. The result is nothing short of spectacular, and the movie holds up thirty years later.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <em>Jurassic Park <\/em>isn\u2019t quite a horror movie, the lifelike quality of the movie\u2019s monsters &#8211; the dinosaurs &#8211; can be unsettling, and it\u2019s all too easy to imagine them tearing the roof off your house. Still, it\u2019s a classic for a reason, not least because of the witty and acerbic Jeff Goldblum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Social Network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"THE SOCIAL NETWORK - Official Trailer [2010] (HD)\" width=\"870\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lB95KLmpLR4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If there was ever any doubt about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s weirdness, this 2010 biopic lays them to rest &#8211; he\u2019s an odd character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Director David Fincher has a habit of making \u201cwordy\u201d movies &#8211; that is to say, he\u2019d rather have his characters fight with words than with fists (<em>Fight Club <\/em>notwithstanding), and <em>The Social Network <\/em>is probably his wordiest movie ever.
