Well, I have never meet someone in an unusual way.

Thank you so much!

Hey..! I'm from the Philippines and I'm currently studying in highschool. I have always dreamed of going to the United Kingdom someday. That's why, at my young age I pursued studying and practicing on how to speak in English properly. I hope one day I could have a conversation with a British person for REAL. Anyway, thank you so much for making this awesome website!

I really like this dialogue

Hello, all student! I am a new student this course and I am very happy will be with you. This video is very interesting and helping me learn English. Thanks. Yes, I met my partner very unusual. He was wrong with the phone number, but he liked my voice. After which he phoned again and invited me to a date.

Excuse... is it actually impossible to download the videos from this website? I mean... I would love to watch them offline, but I do not know how to do it... it looks like we can download an app from iTunes, but I do not have an iPad or iPhone.

Hello Vini_itj, I'm afraid the videos are not available for download from the page for technical and legal reasons. Apps are available for a number of devices, including devices using Android: https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/apps Peter The LearnEnglish Team
