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.

  hey man how you doinLesson 1 - Normal, Formal, and Informal Greetings

Real English is also different concerning "levels".

Example: Lesson 43 is easy (for beginners) because
the people speak very clearly. But they use a verb
structure which is usually called "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!
