Learning English is Fun


One day my boarding house friend laughed very loud and I wanted to know so I went to her room to know why and she said that she was having fun watching The Big Bang Theory. Did you know when the first time what I thought about it? I was thinking that it was a science fiction film (that I have gone wrong deduction). So she told me that The Big Bang Theory is a sitcom about a group of nerds. She said it was funny.

Then she told to watch it by myself to take a look how funny it was. I finally got one season of this sitcom on my laptop and tried to watch it carefully. Surprisingly, I did not get into the jokes so I did not laugh. I ended up watching it just because I thought I could practice my English. (here, I wanted to make clear that I like American English accent because I think it sounds nice for non-native speaker like me who is trying to sound like native to imitate. You know I could not imitate the sexy and gorgeous accent of British because it is too unnatural for non-native speaker like me who never been overseas to imitate. I think I would sound tacky if I do that. But yes I like British English very much yet I just could not imitate it)

I was very surprised to see Sheldon who got a little bit alike with Sherlock. He is fast-talking, scientist, very smart, incapable of making social relationship well because he puts too much attention on himself and the one who could bear someone like him is Leonard, his roommate. I was so surprised because I think that kind of relationship is like Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. I like Sheldon because he is like Sherlock Holmes a little bit.

This sitcom is about nerd life and now I was getting into it. I could understand the joke that was pretty much funny and I was having fun with that. I should say that watching this could make me feel enjoy something that I want to learn. I would explain to you, actually I am a student of English program who suppose to master English but I always think that I am not good. So I try my best to always learning but I end up with boring situation. I always know that the best way to learn language is by using it. I am using my senses to catch everything that I could learn from English. By watching movies, cartoons, or this sitcom, I learn much about English. I like language because I think I have so many ways to gain knowledge not just by sitting around in the library and reading many books. (I still think reading book is best way to make you smart haha). Now, I was writing something and what it was about I did not care because the point was I start to write again and that was good for me.
