Default About learning movie screenplays and TV show transcripts

Hello,

I adequately believe myself of a big enthusiastic fan of learning movie screenplays and comedy TV show transcripts. I am working on a few of movie screenplays these recently days. And I have a lot of fun with checking the phrases and idioms out that I am not familiar with. It normally takes me quite a while to finish one movie screenplay. But, I strongly believe it is worth to do that.

At the same time, I am wondering how I can extensively learn the movie screenplays more effectively? I am looking forward to hearing from the English experts here on this issue.

Thanks in advance.
English-learner

That's a very specialised area of language. There a forum here deidicated to screenplays, but it's primarily for mative speakers, but it should be worth a visit:

Default Thanks tdol, but...

Hello tdol,

Thanks for your reply. I have opened the website that you suggested. But, I could not find any dicussing forums like this website. I wish I could find a forums like this one where I can dicuss the phrases from the movie transcripts with people.

Thanks again

Default Thank you very much Ted5

Hello Ted5,

I just though about that I can discuss the phrases from movies with people here and don't need to bother to try to find a place like this website! I think I will do that. Thank you very much for your willingness to help.

By the way, I think I start to like this website a lot.

Thanks again,
English-learner
