The Top 5 Christmas Movies for Learning English

Hi everyone,

If you’re learning English abroad in an English speaking country over the Christmas period, you might find yourself off for a few days.

As this is a festive period, there will always be lots of fun activities to take part in. But this can also be an expensive and exhausting time, so watching a Christmassy movie is a great way to take a break from the spending and the festivities.

Beside, one of the best ways to learn about Christmas is to watch one of the many popular Christmas Movies, which will show you what the holiday is like and the sorts of values that it represents for Americans.

In addition, watching English movies is a great way to practice your English! Below are a few of my favourite movies to watch:

1. Home Alone: Home Alone is a 1990 American comedy film written and produced by John Hughes and directed by Chris Columbus. It’s part of our Movie House Christmas Season.

Plot summary: Home Alone is the highly successful and beloved family comedy about a young boy named Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) who is accidentally left behind when his family takes off for a vacation in France over the holiday season.
