Mechanics

Your daily English habit — the engine of the program.

▶ TV series — the 4-pass method

45–60 min · 2–3 episodes/week. The brain remembers scenes, not word lists.

  1. 1Read the subtitles first (in your native language) before watching. Mark every unknown word.
  2. 2Watch with native-language subtitles for full context. Don't pause — absorb the story and tone.
  3. 3Watch again with English subtitles. Pause on marked words; hear how they're really pronounced.
  4. 4Watch a third time with no subtitles. Your ears catch what your eyes were doing for you.
  5. 5Add all marked words to your flashcards the same day. Review them first thing tomorrow.

Pro tip: pick a show you genuinely want to keep watching — motivation beats technique.
