Step 5: Review the Film with Your Tutors and Teachers

To take things to the next level, meet with a language exchange partner or your teacher, and watch the film together. Be sure to let them know ahead of time what parts of the film you want to study so they can look it up and watch it before they meet with you.

Here are some ideas of what you can cover with your teacher:

• 
  Ask for help understanding cultural nuances in the film, or why characters are doing specific things that you don’t understand.
  
• 
  Ask for clarification on phrases or accents that are used in the film.
  
• 
  Have your teacher ask you questions about a specific segment, then try to answer them in the target language.
  
• 
  Have your teacher play the part of one of the characters in the movie and practice dialogues with you.
  
• 
  Ask about the role this film plays in your teacher’s society and culture.
  

These are just a few ideas to get your started. Your teacher may have other suggestions for how to use the movie in your study sessions together.
