Pick shows or movies you mostly understand (about 70–80%). If it’s too difficult, you’ll just end up reading subtitles.
Avoid your native language subtitles. English subtitles help you connect spoken and written forms at the same time. There's no shame in using them - even some native speakers like to use English subtitles so they don't miss anything!
Rewatch short scenes and focus on specific phrases, pronunciation, and intonation.
Keep a notebook (or your phone notes) and write down phrases you like, not just single words.
Pause and repeat after the characters. Copy their pronunciation and rhythm — this trains your speaking naturally.
