Learning with videos (1)

Learning English can really be a lot of fun with the internet. Most pages on the web are in English which means that everyone can find something of interest.

Let me start by showing you one site with short video clips. It's called 'Video Jug'. Choose from variety of topics such as food & drink, sports & outdoors, money & careers, home & lifestyle and more.

Most videos are only a few minutes long and you can listen to people with very different accents and dialects. It's great fun and good practice. Below the video, if you scroll down a little on the page, you can find the complete script for each video. So, if you cannot easily understand the speaker, you can read along and read the text. You can download the videos and print the text, so they are also perfect partners for a mobile session on the train or elsewhere. Just give it a try!
