This series on DVDs and foreign languages isn't over yet!
Where can you find DVDs? I suggest you check out your local Amazon website. Amazon is usually really cheap. You should probably buy used DVDs instead of shelling out hundreds of dollars for a new box set.
I recommend picking easy and interesting movies to start with. Movies made by Disney are pretty good, and most of them (though not all of them) are non-violent. Watching Disney movies is a great way to get better at your favorite foreign language!

I recommend Cars, Ice Age, Madagascar, and their sequels. Tarzan is also pretty interesting, but targeted at younger customers.

You should also check out your local library. Some good libraries (not all libraries offer this service) let you borrow DVDs, and even CDs. My local library lets me borrow 2 DVDs and 2 CDs for three weeks. I had to pay a subscription fee to get my library card, but that's to be expected.
Be careful, though. Make sure the DVDs you give back to the library are in perfect condition, or else they'll suspend your subscription!

Happy language learning!

Start Using DVDs to Learn Languages! Part 2

As I said some time ago, DVDs are great tools to learn languages. As long as you watch the DVD in your foreign language, you are making progress. That's the beauty of it-- you can just sit back and relax. You don't have to study your foreign language actively.

However, what do you do if you don't speak your foreign language much? Let's say you're a beginner in French and you want to learn vocabulary fast. Well, first of all, you should pick a movie you know well.
That will make things easier for you.
Then, you should only watch the movie you picked for a few minutes every day.

If you're still having trouble understanding the movie in French, get a French dictionary. Look up some words each time you watch the movie, and you'll become better and better at French.

See you soon for the next part of the article!
