It’s perfectly normal to feel frustrated when you have trouble understanding English-language series, especially when you see that your friends can.

Here are a few tips to help you improve your understanding:

  1. Start with series adapted to your level: If you find some series too difficult, start with children’s series or series designed specifically for learning English.
    They often use simpler vocabulary and shorter sentences.
  2. Activate English subtitles: Start by activating the English subtitles to make it easier to follow what’s being said.
    This will help you associate the written word with the sounds you hear.
  3. Repeat scenes: Don’t hesitate to pause and repeat sentences you don’t quite understand.
    It’s a great way to train your ear to recognize sounds and intonations.
  4. Use online tools: There are tools and applications that can help you practice listening comprehension, such as listening exercises or quizzes on the TV shows you watch.
  5. Regular practice: The more you listen to English, the more you’ll get used to the sounds and speed of the language.
    Try to watch a little every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
  6. Talk to your friends: Talk to your friends about what you’ve seen and heard in the series.
    They may be able to explain expressions or words you don’t understand.
  7. Don’t get discouraged: Listening comprehension is a skill that takes time to develop.
    Everyone progresses at their own pace, so don’t compare yourself too much with your friends.
    Focus on your own progress and be proud of every little achievement!

Remember that everyone has their own challenges, and the important thing is to keep practicing and improving.
With perseverance and practice, you’ll see that your understanding of English series will gradually improve.
You’re on the right track, don’t give up!
