I started to learn English from Netflix series. The series that I watched, was "Violet Evergarden". The original dubbed was japanese but I listened to it in English dubbed.
To study English, I have a step of practicing which I got this method from this Video
I watched the series with English dubbed and subs, then I paid attention to listen what they said in English and wrote what I heard. And then, I wrote vocabs that I thought I didn't understand and searched for the meaning of those words (just like what Violet did).
Before and After watched the series, I need to question myself and created a topic to talk in English, and the topic was "What will Happened in this EP" and after watching I will ask myself "What did the film told me, What was the story about".
And the tips of studying English with Netflix series is to pause in every 10 minute of the episode, then summarized the story in English!!
And thennnn you're doneeeee with studying English in Day1!!
And this is my learning excel to track my daily english studying.

22 June
Today I had summarized Violet Evergarden EP10.
And this is what I had wrote.
Violet went to the countryside to write a letter for the client. She was a mother who live with her daughter in the mansion, no one came to visit her but in this day Violet came and operated a long time work for 7 day period. And then the work had began Violet started to write a letter and this letter needed to be wrote secretly.
The mother carried a bad sickness with her all alone and this sickness seem to not be better or can be cure. But so, her only daughter Ann also know this for a long long time and always wish for a better health for her mom.
Ann hate every kind of visited cause they took her mom away from her. Ann always look and concerned about her mom, at first Ann didn't like Violet much but after day and day pass by Ann and Violet get more close and Ann like to ask Violet to do this do that and many things together.
The reason that Ann like to call and play with Violet was because her mother needed to take a rest. And Ann also felt comfortable with Violet was because she looked like a real doll and Ann believe that she is a doll. But one day, her mom gone sick and the pain began to devour her health more and more while working on writing letters with Violet, by seeing that Ann can't hold her tear back and she ran to her mom then said "stop! You don't needed to write a letter anymore!" and began to cried more and more. Ann spook all the thing she wanted to say to her mom she even asked that "those letter were more important than me?" And then she ran away.
Violet went out to comfort her too. Violet said one sentence that touched my heat so much and it a word that are explain about her mother sickness too, "there is nothing that can be done. Like my arm that cannot be soft and warm not the way yours will always will be." Ann realized with a face of a little girl who scare to be alone without her beloved mother.
After 7 days pass, it time for Violet to say farewell, and Ann also realized that Violet is a human by touching her cheek and it felt soft and warm.
Since Violet had gone, Ann's mother spend her remaining time only with Ann until the last day of her life, and she has pass away when Ann was just 8 years old.
But then one day the letter had delivered to Ann , and that was a letter from her mother. She try to say that "no matter where you are or how sad you feel or even if I didn't be there with you, but I will always be there by your side so that the reason I wrote this letter for you."
In that pass day, the day that Violet came to write a letter, it all delivered to Ann. It a letter from her mom, sent it to her beloved daughter over the course for the next 50 year.
