Watching TV

Even though I have studyed  English for such a long time,  my speaking skill is so poor. So I asked my son and daughter who are much much better than me " What is the most important activity to make English speaking  ability increase?"  Both of them  answered that it's watching TV programs and movies. They speak English to each other at home recently except me.
What they think is that interesting thing can be important fact to keep doing something. Anyway, I am a bit exhausted  because I am still struggling. Should I have to watch TV programs and movies  for my speaking ability tomorrow?  Or do I have to meet a native American to  practice speaking English?

  1. I think they can both be helpful, but I don't think listening alone can be a very effective way to learn to speak. You have to speak to get better at speaking!

  2. Jung Suk. Dont be sad. Kids can learn more than adults, however, you should lissen your kids. You should speak and listen. Movies are the best way for listening. By the way I know you speak really good. When you speak in the class or conversation club, I always paid attation what you saying. Because your sentence constractions is really good and you are really rich with the vocabulary....
