Description

Have you ever struggled to follow the dialogue in British films or TV series? Or have you heard a conversation between natives and noticed how many words they use that you don't understand? Or maybe you simply have an interest in learning the common British English that we actually use in everyday life? Then this course is for you.Welcome!This course is a series of short video lessons. Each video covers one word and is usually between 2-3 minutes. Currently, there are 51 words covered in the course, but I will increase this over time to at least 100 and probably more. About Me:I'm Tom. I've been an English Tutor for five years now, and I specialise in teaching informal, conversational British English to students around the world. During my lessons, I noticed how many of my students complained that despite having a good level of English and being able to understand me in class, they couldn't understand films or TV series without subtitles. This gave me an idea.I have a passion for cinema, and I think that films can be a great tool to help learn a language, especially the informal spoken version. So I've created a course here that attempts to use clips from British films to help teach slang and informal words. I think this makes the content much more engaging and more likely to stick in your memory for the long run!Lesson Structure:Each video covers one word and takes on the following structure:Word definition and explanation.3 listen and repeat exercises to practise pronunciation.Example conversation where I use the word in a typical spoken sentence structure.Clips from films will be inserted throughout the video to provide further demonstration and familiarisation.
