Learning English on the Street
This site combines ESL/EFL grammar and functions with the spontaneity provided by the people we meet casually during our filming campaigns. You will not find any actors here. All of our clips are based on people being themselves, speaking naturally and spontaneously, just like in the situations which learners will deal with when their training is finished, when they travel to English-speaking countries, or when they welcome English speakers into their homes and offices.
Our videos are based on targeted grammar structures and social functions, providing an anchor and a counterpoint to the spontaneity of street video. This unique approach is greatly appreciated by teachers who have been using traditional materials, which present us with actors speaking slowly and distinctly, as if the real world were slow and distinct. The lessons include images directly related to what the speakers are saying, as well as additional audio files, providing meaning for beginners and intermediate students alike.
New Cool Tool tool which you will find in all lessons: Listen / Record / Compare. This is a picture of the recorder. Try a live example in any lesson.

In real situations in the lessons, students first listen to the native speaker in the exercise, then record themselves, and then listen to the teachers' voices as well as the native speakers in the video again to compare, and record again, until satisfied with their pronunciation. Recording Support is here.

Important:

times before reading,
