In this English teaching podcast I am with Cara Leopold from Leo Listening, talking about how to learn English with TV and Movies.
We discuss why TV and Movies can be a fantastic learning tool, and how you can benefit from being entertained while acquiring new language, or getting valuable English listening practice.
We look at some useful vocabulary, and some TV/Movie watching words which are different in The UK and The USA.
Then there are some English learning word games for you to join in with. Can you find the film names from synonyms, or do you know who says the catchphrases?
Here's a list of some of the English language TV shows we mention:
- Friends
- Seinfeld
- The US office
- The UK Office
- The Simpsons
- Dad's Army
- Red Dwarf
- The Big Bang Theory
You can find out more about learning English through watching TV shows and films on Cara's Leo Listening website:

44. Euphemisms - with Shereen from An English Nerd
Euphemisms are a very useful part of English to learn. They can help to be diplomatic and caring when speaking about difficult or taboo situations, and on the other side they can help you to joke about serious situations in a very British way.
Shereen from An English Nerd joins me in this podcast episode for English learners to explore some of these euphemisms and how to use them.
