× I often watch movies twice a week, as I will, umm uh, quit some time to choose, uh, to select my favorite movies subtitle and so that I can learn from the relevant interesting information about it.
✓ I often watch movies twice a week, because I will take some time to choose my favorite movies and their subtitles so that I can learn interesting and relevant information from them.
The original sentence has awkward tense and word choices. 'Will' is unnecessary when describing a habitual action; use simple present 'take'. 'Quit' is incorrect word choice; use 'take'. 'Movies subtitle' lacks plural agreement and possessive relation; change to 'movies and their subtitles'. 'About it' is unclear; use 'from them' to refer back to movies and subtitles. Overall, use present tense for habits and correct noun forms and pronouns.
× I usually watch scientific movie and some uh, mystery movies like Havana and also I like to watch them umm, uh, cartoon movies, uh, such as Crazy Zoo, umm, in this year, yes, it's very funny.
✓ I usually watch science movies and some mystery films like Havana, and I also like to watch animated movies such as Crazy Zoo; this year I found it very funny.
'Scientific movie' is an incorrect adjective-noun collocation; use 'science movies' or 'science films'. 'Mystery movies like Havana' is acceptable but 'movie' vs 'film' consistency improved. 'Cartoon movies' is better as 'animated movies'. 'In this year' is unnatural; use 'this year'. Correct word forms and clearer sentence structure improve fluency.
× Umm, I think both too. I I like because umm, I select the cinema or at home. It depends on the situation.
✓ I think I like both. I choose between the cinema and watching at home depending on the situation.
Original has repetition and incorrect phrasing 'I select the cinema or at home'. Use 'choose between' and a clear subject-verb-object order. Keep consistent tense and remove fillers.
× If the cinema didn't have the movie I I want to watch, I will choose to watch at home.
✓ If the cinema does not have the movie I want to watch, I will choose to watch it at home.
Conditional sentence combines past tense with future 'will' incorrectly. Use present simple in the if-clause for real conditions ('does not have'). Include the pronoun 'it' after 'watch' for clarity. Fix repeated 'I'.
× Umm, it's also convenient for me and and it's easy to.
✓ It's also convenient for me and it's easy to do.
Sentence ends abruptly with missing verb or object. Add 'to do' to complete the idea. Remove repeated 'and'.
× Yeah, sure. For example, I, I used to want, uh, I used to want to learn the uh, Korean language, umm, and, and also to travel in the Korea, uh, so I watch a lot of uh, career drama and I just listen their language so that I can speak.
✓ Yes, for example, I used to want to learn Korean and also to travel to Korea, so I watched a lot of Korean dramas and listened to their language so that I could speak it.
Mixes past habitual 'used to' with present 'watch' incorrectly. Maintain past tense: 'used to... so I watched'. Use 'Korean' not 'the Korean language'. Use 'travel to Korea' instead of 'in the Korea'. 'Career drama' likely intended 'Korean dramas'. Add object pronoun 'it' after 'speak'. Use past modal 'could' to reflect ability in past.
