Real English is different. Students who have not lived in an English-speaking country should begin with Lesson 1! 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.Real English is also different concerning "levels".

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

Example: Lesson 43 is easy (for beginners) because
the people speak clearly in this particualar clip. But they use a verb
structure which is usually categorized as "Intermediate".

All the people you meet in Real English speak naturally,
but some people speak more clearly, and more slowly
than others. On the other hand, "levels" are usually
determined according to the relative difficulty of the
grammar structure used in a lesson. When we say
"Beginner", "Intermediate" and "Advanced" we are
speaking about grammar difficulty, not the way the
people speak. This is why you will find some
hard Beginner lessons & easy Intermediate lessons!


Ten of the lessons on this page include complete lessons.
I'm working hard so that all the videos on this site will
have complete sets of exercises before the end of the year.

In the meantime, there are already 53 lessons to choose
from, representing over 250 hours of interactive work
for students.

You do everything in the new lessons: read, type, take
notes, watch, listen, record yourself, compare your
pronunciation to the teacher's, while learning new
vocabulary, grammar, and social functions in a fun,
reality-based environment
