Real English is different. Intermediate and even Advanced students should begin with Lesson 1 when they begin studying Real English! Even our beginner videos are challenging for students who have never spent time in English-speaking countries.

Elena Benito-Ruiz Elena Benito-Ruiz, creator of the E|FL 2.0 Blog, writes about Real English.

Elena writes: "highly recommendable for you, learning English, or for you, teaching English because contents are excellent. And that’s what really matters. I’m fed up of posting about sites which claim to have great multimedia resources, and when you go deeper you realize it’s just another 2.0 sleek site without a methodology behind, with just a bunch of videos form youtube or bliptv and stuff.
Here’s the opposite. Probably the best content ever. They own a great treasure, i.e. probably the largest array of video resources/realia for EFL learners."


Another Blog item: Here's a clip from YouTube of a teacher and his students in Chile, using lesson 3 in the classroom.

Hi!
You do everything in the new lessons: Watch, type, speak, listen to the people in the video and listen to the teacher, record yourself, and perfect your accent while learning grammar and vocabulary essentials.
