 Lesson 58 - Walter of Mobile, Alabama was our tour guide at Historic Fort Conde. This is a Topical Clip. It's certainly not the
best one in the Real English collection, but we like Walter a lot. We asked him a lot of hard questions.

 Lesson 60 - Santa and Don Ray, Homeless in Florida
Natural and polite, these 2 homeless people excuse themselves almost every time they use an obscene word. Nevertheless, you will
find a warning at the beginning of this video. This is obviously not a clip for children. We've included this video because it
brings up an important social issue, while confirming that real English is real! On the other hand, as an ESL teacher myself, I
would find it diffcult to teach with such material. Level: Advanced |

 Lesson 61 - Several years before our 2008 filming campaign on How to Learn a Second Language, Christina offered excellent
insight into the same question.
ESL students: take some advice from Christina! Level: Upper Intermediate |
||
 Lesson 62 - Kelly - on the Island of Nantucket, Massachusetts, USA
ESL Teachers: Excellent opportunity for classroom activities. This interview is serendipitously interrupted by a phone call. What is the person on the other end of the line saying? Level: Upper Intermediate / Advanced |
||
 Lesson 63 - Monica from Montego Bay, Jamaica
Real English is based on native speakers of English, with a small percentage of non-native speakers in the beginner and intermediate sections. In the advanced section, we include some of the more "exotic" native speakers of English, such as Monica. There are some special English subtitles in this clip which correct mistakes made by... the interviewer! Level: Advanced |
||
 Lesson 64 - Darryl and Donna - Why learn a Second Language?
This clip was filmed in Miami Beach. Second languages are a touchy subject in south Florida. Why? Level: Advanced |
||
 Lesson 65 - Dane
The interviewer thinks that Dane has the ideal life. Why? Do you agree? Level: Advanced |
||
 Lesson 66 - Dorothy from Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Five words are missing from this interview (silence instead of speech). What might they be? - Excellent for Classroom Discussion: What do you think was the one thing Dorothy regretted? Why? Level: Advanced |
||
 Lesson 67 - Heather, a future documentary film maker... and an idealist?
Level: Advanced |
||
 Lesson 68 - What's been the best year of your life? A topical clip wherein the interviewees ingeniously reveal their values and aspirations.Level: Upper Intermediate |
||
 Lesson 69 - What do you hope to achieve before you die?
This is one of the most thought-provoking clips in Real English. It is also a good verb review, and used to be the most downloaded Real English clip. Broken down into 2 parts, each approx. 5 min. duration, they are constantly updated with new interviewees. Level: Advanced |
||
 Lesson 70 - Distraught Laurie
This is proof that not all of Real English is cheerful. Here we meet a very distraught Laurie. I don't think Laurie will be a permanent part of the Real English video library. She's frankly depressing. On the other hand, this clip provides us with financial vocabulary and economic realities of the moment. Level: Advanced |
||
 Lesson 71 - Randee
We were very fortunate to meet Randee Mia Berman in Manhattan. She is currently writing a "dazzling Sex and the City script"
according to the Writer's Guild of America. She is also working on a sequel to her one-woman show " Mia's World" and writing a
humor book about women and feminism. |
