Lesson #6 -- Seinfeld | The Soup Nazi & The Marble Rye | Realistic conversation

The Soup Nazi (We will start this Tuesday the 24th) and the Marble Rye are two of the funniest episodes of the hit, award-winning TV show Seinfeld. This was the most popular show of the 90s, surpassing Friends easily in the US. Surely you've heard of it, but it is rarely shown in Korea. This offers a look into common American sarcasm and humor, while giving a very realistic insight into New York culture. (see more about the show here)

Some of you may ask, isn't this show old? It remains avidly watched and is the best example of real conversation of any show I've ever seen on television.

Lesson #2 - 60 Minutes | Flight 1549


Good review class today. Next class we're having a quiz, so study your vocabulary. After that, I want to do the plane crash (the one everyone survived) in the Hudson River in New York-New Jersey lesson. So I'd like you to download this script: Lesson #2 -- 60 Minutes - Flight 1549.

You don't have to review the script before class, but it won't hurt. From my vantage point, it seems that previewing lessons helps you stay on task and improve by leaps and bounds.

See you in the hallways.
