If you think that learning English isn’t lively enough then try listening online to the BBC’s “The Flatmates“. This is where soap opera meets online learning.
Woman: If there’s any stealing going on, it’s you who’s doing it.
Alice: What are you talking about?
Woman: Home wrecker, husband stealer!
Alice: Mrs Laver? Lucy?
The series just won a British Council Elton Award for Innovation in Teaching English. It features regular new episodes which visitors can read online and listen to.
It also provides useful vocabulary and language insights to help you understand it all:
home wrecker
someone who has an affair (with a person who is married) and who breaks up a marriage because of it (makes the married person leave his/her partner)
And of course you can vote on the general direction of the next episode. Where is this all going ? Stay tuned!
