Level: Advanced     Beginner - Intermediate I - Intermediate II - Intermediate III  - Advanced II

"Beginner" and "Intermediate" are relative terms in the world of Real English.
There are easy and difficult videos in the 3 intermediate sections.

An important point: Students who have not lived in an English-speaking country should begin with Lesson 1! Real English is different. The people in the videos are spontaneous. Spontaneity is difficult, just like real situations with strangers are difficult. The people seem to speak fast, but in reality, they are speaking at normal speed.


Here is a list of all videos with complete sets of exercises

  Our Jamaican friend on vacation in Nantucket. - 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 - Exercises coming soon, after we finish all the lessons for the Intermediate Clips.
  Darryl and Donna 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?

  An unusual lifestyle! - Lesson 65 - Dane - The interviewer thinks that Dane has the ideal life. Why? Do you agree?

  What do YOU want to achieve or accomplish before your death? - 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 - Exercises coming soon, after we finish all the lessons for the Intermediate Clips.
  Distraught Laurie - 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 - Exercises coming soon, after we finish all the lessons for the Intermediate Clips.
 

She speaks backwards! 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.
