I think watching TV is beneficial to learning. Especially the commercials because they are repeated a lot and then when you watch in your native language they say the same thing.

Thanks for your help. You're right, good idea. But... (siempre hay un pero... ) when I change the language in the TV, commercials are in Spanish here. |

Nada que ver con que tengan el cerebro más nuevo, pero sí el hecho que usan el cerebro sin prejuicios, solo lo utilizan para aprender/absorber sin "filtros".
Diferente. |

Bueeeno Pero yo sí que tengo "filtros".
También están inmersos lingüísticamente en ese idioma. Es diferente aprender un idioma estando en contacto con él continuamente que aprenderlo "en la distancia", por decirlo de alguna manera. |

Instead of, I have listed other audio files or yourtube video and I can understand everything they say there, therefore, I consider that the news in those channel are very hard to understand when you aren't a native speaker, I guess for more you are studying English and if you know enough the language, it almost impossible understand everything said in the news.

Si crees que la educación y el saber gramática son algunos de los filtros que tienes. Estás equivocada. Son herramientas a las cuales puedes acudir y utilizar.

En cuanto a estar inmerso en el lenguaje, en mi tiempo era válido, ahora con el internet y al grado en que se puede utilizar, ya no creo que sea tan válida como respuesta/valla/excusa. Aunque siempre muy útil. Como toda herramienta a la que se puede usar. |

Crotalito, I think a video in Youtube is more interesting than news from CNN. So, attention plays an important role. |

Well, I agree with everything said... or written.
Key is to be freed from misunderstood words. And yes, nowadays... a word or symbol you don't understand, you have to clear it up in a good dictionary... or ask about it. One single misunderstood word, can "blank out" everything that comes after it. Have ever experienced getting to the end of a page (in a book) and realize you were thinking about something else, and had no clue of what you had just "read". The whole page is "blank" in your mind. If you go back and find the word or symbol you missed... clear it up... and magically you understand the rest 100% not 70, not 80, no nothing. Full conceptual understanding. I could go onto a full "dissertation" about this subject, but besides technical words and idiomatic expressions which are the common known "bugaboos" of any language... the worse ones are the "small common words". They are in my view the worse ones because they are used so profusely that "everybody knows" them. But you'll be amazed at how even native speakers have incomplete definitions of words such as "to" (Random House gives 26 definitions for "to", plus one idiom.) Words such as "run" (Random gives just 177 definitions for this little three letter 'simple' word.) So, rather than watch live TV without the option to replay, I'd go with things you can replay (like in the Internet). I used to study a full 60 to 90 minutes lecture everyday, having an English script and a glossary for hard to find words, and that helped me... I got to a point where I was listening 3 lectures (180 minutes) a day... Of course, I liked the subject very much, and that helped a lot. If you have a fun subject you are interested on, then it is easier. I do not recommend "news", as these are written normally by "merchant of chaos" and they sell "chaos". If one doesn't read a newspaper for a week, normally his emotional tone level and stability increases notably... (I am talking from experience, not just "de oídas", not just hearsay.) But I'm veering into another subject, now... Summary: Clear words, use them in sentences of your own, try to imitate, to talk yourself... sing the song... "To Morrow"... you know, "you should have gone to Morrow, yesterday and come back today... for the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way..." (Above all, keep having fun...)

¡Qué va! Hay un anuncio aquí de algún helado Magnum que tiene un guión que nada tiene que ver con el inglés. (Y luego hay los anuncios que no se traducen, o incluso algunos de empresas españolas que no venden fuera de España pero hacen publicidad en inglés).
