Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So I began to watch other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning.

I discovered that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like 'It's a piece of cake' or 'It serves you right'.
