Excited by this feedback, I soon showed it to another group of students, who literally begged me for more content like that one. And what can I say… authors want to be read or listened to. My ego was way too excited to stop there and I soon started to share it with all of my advanced students who couldn’t have enough. It was then that I decided to develop specific activities to turn this entertainment into powerful comprehension and vocabulary boosters.

Mind you, some of this material can be hard for a learner! It has tons of idiomatic expressions, all sorts of crazy uses of the subjunctive here, there, and everywhere, tenses and all the grammar mingling together, and tons of politically incorrect language! And that’s when I realized this could be indeed a terrific tool for learners. It just shows the way people talk, which is not always polite or altruistic, but more focused on dealing with life’s daily challenges.

Unlike everything I brought to you before, this is a long story, approximately 120 minutes long. There are 12 episodes of roughly 10 minutes each, but each 10-minute block is broken down into smaller segments, to make it more useful and productive as a learning tool.
