看美剧学英文，自学英文的好办法是将自己沉浸在全英语环境中。如果没有英语环境，看美剧自学英语也是一个不错的方法。继续看适合学英文的美剧《绝望主妇 Desperate Housewives》。肖肖觉得，这是一部有点被名字耽误的美剧，它的内核远不止主妇间的家长里短，更在一幕幕中揭露人性。不论是学英文会话，还是了解美国生活，都是不可错过的一部美剧。

看美剧学英文方法

如何通过看美剧学英语，很多人都尝试通过看美剧学英文。有的人觉得英语进步很快，有的人却收效甚微。肖肖来分享下自己是如何通过看美剧学英文的。

我觉得首先要把看美剧娱乐和看美剧学学习分开。因为刷剧的时候，很难去留意演员的用词或者句法。如果又想看剧情，又想记单词，结果只能是哪个都没做好。所以，我会选择看这部剧情已经很熟悉的《绝望主妇》，然后拿出固定的时间，只留意字幕，演员的发音，然后跟着逐句练习，记笔记及背诵。这样不仅效率高，也比较愉快，因为我知道自己做好了想要做的事情。

还有就是要重点背诵不认识的单词，idiom，不熟悉的句法。不要害怕啃硬骨头。如果总是回避一些陌生的词汇，句子，是很难有突破的。
