The advantages of learning through movies
A) You’ll learn the authentic Persian language rather than the kind found in textbooks.
The language taught in classes often doesn’t reflect what people actually say in everyday situations. The dialogue in movies feels very natural and closely resembles what you’d hear from native speakers, which can enhance your spoken Persian skills. Additionally, listening to these conversations will help you improve your pronunciation.
B) You learn vocabulary in context.
In traditional schooling, we often rely on vocabulary lists, which can teach you definitions but not how or when to use the words. In movies, you’ll hear exactly how things are expressed. In most languages, it’s said that less than 10% of communication comes from words; the remaining comes from tone, body language, and facial expressions. By observing actors in a film, you’ll not only expand your vocabulary but also learn the emotional context behind their words—whether they’re feeling sad, happy, surprised, or angry.
C) Watching movies also provides cultural insights.
You can explore places that intrigue you and gain a deeper understanding of their local customs and history. Plus, movies can serve as engaging conversation starters with your Persian-speaking friends.
