This lesson helps me learn English, start with small detail of simple grammar in simple and small daily interaction within people who speak in English, and also remind me to be careful, pay attention to traffic signs, read and follow the task instructions, read and work on the tasks carefully and patiently. Thank you.

I like the conversation between them.

I like this video

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
