Yeah thought about Britains got talent/X Factor, but think it would be better to have something with a storyline - so they can discuss it with me.YaTingPom wrote:OK.
Britain's Got Talent - lots of proper English speakers and entertainment, same goes for X Factor.
If you want them to speak your bastadized language then there are US versions of the above.
Or Home and Away....
You make a lot of incorrect assumptions. But cheers for input.

I think GOT - certainly the early series might be a bit too sexy. Fine to watch with the wife but I think they'd be mortified to be watching some of the sex scenes if I was in the same room as them!logos wrote:GOT with subtitles.

U.S. TV shows for teenagers.
The Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf, Drake & Josh, The Secret Life Of The American Teenager, One Tree Hill, and a cartoon show... Family Guy.

Know it's not TV...but...Firm favourite with all ages: Oliver Twist
Very relevant to Cambodia

They did a TV series too, Dickensian, excellent, and probably easier to sell to a DOS as educational than GOT:

Make sure you put subtitles on for every episode. Sometimes, pause and break down some of the scenes.

X-factor, Britains Got Talent?! You must be kidding, these types of programs are made for the plonkers who can't make it through GCSEs.
Blackadder all the way. It has the attraction of Mr. Bean, but with great scripts instead- they might just realize how dumb Bean is by the time they're done!
If they need to understand English humour vs ze Germans & le frogs, Allo Allo. And pure British idiocy, Fawlty Towers or Only Fools & Horses.
Wife enjoyed the lot & picked up a whole bunch of humour & words that improved her language by far. Including calling me Rod-Den-Ney you plonker... can backfire!
