The Princess Bride (film) I believe that a lot of exposure to English music and film can be very helpful for developing English listening skills. "The Princess Bride" is one film that I like to recommend for a variety of reasons. 1. It is a film that is loved by a wide range of people and is good for both children and adults. It has comedy, adventure, action, and romance. Women and children may enjoy the film more, but it is good for men also, if they enjoy the style. 2. Many people who enjoy the film will watch it again and again. It is a well loved classic. It is a good film to watch more than once, and that is important if you want a film to practice with. 3. It is famous and common enough that it should not be very difficult to find, including with subtitles (written words) in your native language. 4. There is also a book version (which was written before the film). 5. The book version uses a level of English that is not too advanced for intermediate English learners. If you are curious about this movie, here is a trailer for the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtj_Ix5IUo8 Not everyone will love this film, but I consider it to be a good option for English practice that many people can enjoy. If you would like to practice your listening skills with this (or any) English film then I recommend you do so by doing the following. 1. Acquire the film with English audio but with subtitles n your local language. Watch the film first while reading the words of your local language so that you can understand the film well. If you think your English skills are good enough, skip this step. 2.Watch the film with English audio and English subtitles. Read and listen to English at the same time. Watch the film multiple times and learn what the words they are saying sound like. You can even practice repeating them. 3. If you become familar enough with the film, try to watch it without any subtitles. 4. This film has a book version. After you know the film well, and you feel up to the task, acquire the book version and try to read it. This movie was made in the 1980's and it does not have any fancy special effects or intense action. The value of the film is really in it's story and characters. The film has a variety of accents in it including American, British, (fake) Spanish, and French. The "giant" in the film has a very deep voice and a French accent though. Even I have difficulty understanding him, but you should be able to understand everyone else with some practice
