00:04
there anything really more fun to do on the weekends then to curl up on the sofa
1
4230
3839
00:08
with a bowl of popcorn and watch a great movie?
2
8069
3851
00:11
Well, based on the popularity of our lesson
3
11920
2600
00:14
looking at ten of the best series to learn English with in 2020.
4
14520
3480
00:18
I want to make you a list of my favorite movies that I've seen over the last year
5
18000
4520
00:22
that will be great for you to learn English with.
6
22529
2971
00:25
Now these are not just
7
25500
1289
00:26
movies that came out over the last year rather they're all ones that I've seen
8
26789
3750
00:30
recently and that I think are great for learning the language.
9
30539
3201
00:33
Now I've tried not to pick any ones that are too obvious
10
33740
2880
00:36
like Oscar winners or the blockbuster
11
36620
1800
00:38
films because I'm pretty sure a lot of you will have already seen these.
12
38420
3860
00:42
And I also wanted to avoid films that are too classic or artsy because these can be
13
42280
4759
00:47
sometimes kind of slow or boring and usually don't have the language that you
14
47039
3930
00:50
actually need to learn now that said all the series that I have chosen come from
15
50969
4561
00:55
different genres which means that no matter what kind of movies you like you
16
55530
4200
00:59
are bound to find something that you like in this list and that also makes it
17
59730
4169
01:03
great for learning all different types of vocabulary.
18
63899
3161
01:07
Plus, you can find most of these series
19
67060
1900
01:08
on Netflix which makes it super easy, convenient and simple to watch them.
20

01:13
By the way before we get into the lesson I want to let you know that
21
73680

22
76140
3750
01:19
can go beyond the classroom and live your English like Ghaida who says that she
23
79890
4229
01:24
is no longer afraid when she hears natives speak English.
24
84119

3140
01:35
Now let's get into the best ten movies to learn English with this year.
28
95600
3780
01:42
Number ten: Newness.
29
102020
2040
01:45
-Hey how's it going? -Good.
30
105680
2820
01:48
Yeah?
31
108500
1200
01:50
-You're from Spain originally? -Yeah, Barcelona.
32
110360
2740
01:53
Oh my God!
33
113100
1120
01:54
You walked like that the whole way here?
34
114220
2040
01:56
Okay let's go
35
116260
1140
01:57
-You want to have kids? -Yeah, I wanna have kids
36
117400
2060
01:59
-but I don't want to get married. -No? I did.
37
119460
2640
02:02
-You were married? -Briefly, yeah. What about you?
38
122100
2860
02:04
What about me what?
39
124960
1080
02:06
You know have you ever ever been in love?
40
126040
2700
02:08
Now this is a super fascinating
41
128740
2359
02:11
film that deals with exactly how complicated modern-day romantic
42
131099
4110
02:15
relationships can be. It features main actress Laia Costa who
43
135209
4651
02:19
is actually from Barcelona which means that she is a non-native English speaker
44
139860
4080
02:23
just like you, which I think makes this film highly relatable.
45
143940
3700
02:27
Furthermore we see a cameo from leading a relationship psychotherapist Esther Perel who on a
46
147640
6140
02:33
side note has some really fascinating TED Talks and podcasts that I highly
47
153780
4260
02:38
recommend that you check out.
48
158040
1620
02:39
Well it goes without saying that Newness is a
49
159660
1980
02:41
really great way for you to learn about vocabulary and even culture related to
50
161640
4920
02:46
dating in the United States.
51
166560
2560
02:49
Finally I'll give you a warning that if you have very
52
169120
2089
02:51
traditional values this movie might not be the best one for you but this might
53
171209
4291
02:55
also be the exactly reason why you need to watch it.
54
175500
2840
02:58
Number 9: The King.
55
178820
3740
03:04
A king that's no friends, only followers.
56
184530
5850
03:10
And foe.
57
190380
1300
03:13
Now this is a Netflix original
58
193360
2440
03:15
movie about King Henry the fifth of England who lived during the 15th century.
59
195800
5220
03:21
Now this one is fantastic because not only will you improve your
60
201020
3840
03:24
English but you'll also learn about British history and there are actually
61
204870
3720
03:28
some things that I didn't know about like for example that Kings used to
62
208590
3840
03:32
fight on the battlefield in wars and that France for a short period of time
63
212430
4350
03:36
formed a part of the British Kingdom so if you like movies about history or
64
216780
6000
03:42
about war and strategy this one is perfect for you.
65
222780
4320
03:47
Number 8: Ocean's Eleven.
66
227100
2480
03:52
Vegas, huh?
67
232500
1160
03:53
Vegas?
68
233660
500
03:54
Vegas.
69
234160
720
03:54
Fantastic!
70
234880
1000
03:55
The heist is impossible.
71
235880
1520
03:57
Casino security cannot be beaten out of your minds
72
237400
4000
04:01
Exactly.
73
241400
1400
04:02
Now I actually watched this one along with two sequels for the first
74
242800
3140
04:05
time this last year and it has a stellar cast: Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Brad Pitt
75
245940
7560
04:13
just to name a few.
76
253500
1420
04:14
Now all these movies are heist movies do you know what that means?
77
254920
3500
04:18
A heist is basically a well planned out robbery so watching this
78
258420
4680
04:23
you'll be on the edge of your seat that means you'll be in suspense wondering
79
263100
3689
04:26
"What's going to happen? how will they possibly pull off this plan?"
80
266789
4591
04:31
You can check out all three of them on Netflix.
81
271380
2780
04:34
By the way, do you want to understand
82

94
307920
2580
05:10
Number seven: My Neighbor Totoro.
95
310500
3080
05:15
-Bye Mei! -Bye Mei.
96
315260
2360
05:17
-Hurry up Mei, it's gonna rain. -Okay.
97
317620
3320
05:20
Are you off to meet your dad at the bus stop?
98
320940
1580
05:22
Yes he forgot his umbrella.
99
322520
2860
05:28
Now changing genres completely I wanted to include at least one animated film in
100
328560
4760
05:33
this list now I don't have kids yet and so I do not watch animated films as much
101
333330
5100
05:38
as I used to but when I do sometimes my favorite is a great anime like this one
102
338430
4890
05:43
these are great for learning languages because so often they have high quality
103
343320
3870
05:47
dubs available in a variety of languages. In fact I actually watch this in Spanish
104
347190
6610
05:55
My Neighbor Totoro is an adorable film but as is the case with many anime it
105
355360
5380
06:00
actually covers really deep tough real-life problems like having a loved
106
360750
4770
06:05
one in the hospital but if you want something that will put a smile on your
107
365520
3450
06:08
face while you relax and learn English then this is a great choice and if
108
368970
4650
06:13
you've already seen it or if you enjoyed this one then you might also want to
109
373620
3060
06:16
check out Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away.
110
376680
4720
06:21
Number 6: Knocked Up.
111
381900
2600
06:24
I'm really just trying to get to know each other and give this a real shot
112
384500
2500
06:27
Okay I know we didn't plan this but I'm on board.
113
387000
3120
06:31
Yeah...
114
391140
1640
06:32
Is it freaking you out that we're shopping for baby clothes?
115
392790
2770
06:35
No I'm just pretending I'm shopping
116
395560
1580
06:37
for regular clothes and I'm a giant.
117
397140
2320
06:39
What do you think of him, he is funny, right?
118
399460
1480
06:40
Fetch, alright bring it back.
119
400940
2340
06:43
He is playing fetch with my kids.
120
403280
1840
06:45
-Go get it, fetch. -He is treating my kids like they're dogs.
121
405120
2910
06:48
Now, I love a good comedy and the main actor in this one Seth Rogen has many hilarious films.
122
408030
7150
06:55
Now this one is actually a rom-com and you know what a rom-com is
123
415180
3800
06:58
a rom-com is a romantic comedy and this one is actually kind of different than
124
418980
5400
07:04
your typical romantic comedy.
125
424380
2220
07:06
Now with Knocked Up you will learn vocabulary
126
426600
1410
07:08
related to pregnancy, to romantic relationships and you'll learn a ton of
127
428010
5070
07:13
great slang as well now if you're looking for something a little bit
128
433080
3390
07:16
lighter than a lot of the other options on this list well then this one is a perfect choice.
129
436470
4690
07:21
Number 5: Knives Out.
130
441160
3980
07:26
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to request that you all stay until the
131
446140
5080
07:31
investigation is completed.
132
451220
3200
07:34
What? Can we ask why?
133
454420
2080
07:36
has something changed?
134
456500
1180
07:37
-No. -No it hasn't changed or no we can't ask?
135
457680
2600
07:40
Now this one is a murder mystery and I love a great movie that can keep you in suspense and
136
460280
6360
07:46
one of the great things about knives out is that it also will have you laughing
137
466640
4620
07:51
because they did a fantastic job mixing in some comedy with all the suspense
138
471260
5040
07:56
very similar to how they do in Ocean's Eleven.
139
476300
3640
07:59
You know something, spill it.
140
479940
3340
08:05
I suspect foul play.
141
485300
2480
08:09
I have eliminated no suspects.
142
489980
3839
08:13
Number four: Kill Bill.
143
493820
2660
08:17
Not too long ago I was quite a professional.
144
497540
3880
08:22
My friends and I, we were the creme de la creme in an exclusive industry.
145
502220
6000
08:28
And we all worked for this man, Bill.
146
508220
3460
08:31
Then one day I decided to leave, settle down, start a new life.
147
511680
5020
08:36
But when I tried to get out
148
516700
3280
08:40
they did me in.
149
520000
2920
08:42
Now this is one that I've seen dozens of times and it never gets
150
522920
3210
08:46
old it is a Quentin Tarantino classic and it features a mix of Japanese
151
526130
4709
08:50
samurai and American Western type films.
152
530839
3741
08:54
We actually recently made a lesson with
153
534580
1900
08:56
Kill Bill which you can check out by clicking up here or down description
154
536480
3240
08:59
below and if you like Kill Bill then another movie you will probably
155
539720
3450
09:03
love is Fight Club which we've also made a lesson with which I will post in the description.
156
543170
5510
09:08
Number three: The Matrix.
157
548680
3240
09:19
Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real?
158
559820
4000
09:26
What if you were unable to wake from that dream?
159
566480
2500
09:28
How would you know the difference between the
160
568980
1660
09:30
dream world and the real world?
161
570640
2800
09:35
What is happening to me?
162
575960
1780
09:37
The answer is out there, Neo, it's the question that drives us.
163
577740
4540
09:43
What is the Matrix?
164
583460
1780
09:45
Now I just recently rewatched all three of the
165
585240
2820
09:48
Matrix films this is a sci-fi which is a science fiction that deals with a
166
588060
5460
09:53
dystopian future it also covers some really deep philosophical subjects and
167
593520
5280
09:58
one of the things that I find really great about this is that every time I
168
598800
3360
10:02
watch The Matrix I find new things that I hadn't discovered before
169
602160
5510
10:07
The Matrix really has everything incredible action and important subject
170
607829
5130
10:12
matter and incredible special effects even though it's 20 years old.
171
612960
4660
10:17
So if you haven't seen The Matrix I highly recommend that you watch it right away
172
617620
3319
10:20
and if you have seen it and you're looking for something else similar I
173
620939
3180
10:24
highly recommend the Netflix original movie I am mother now I am mother very
174
624119
6390
10:30
similar to the matrix deals with a dystopian future and it will keep you on
175
630509
4560
10:35
the edge your seat guessing what is going to happen so I highly think it is
176
635069
4110
10:39
worth watching and finally if you have seen and loved The Matrix I highly
177
639179
4410
10:43
recommend that you check out this series Sense8 which is another Netflix original
178
643589
4440
10:48
which was created by these same creators of The Matrix.
179
648029
3691
10:51
Number 2: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.
180
651720
3200
10:56
It's a beautiful day in this
181
656260
1960
10:58
neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor, would you be mine?
182
658230
4320
11:02
Could you be mine?
183
662550
2790
11:09
Please would you be my neighbor?
184
669020
5660
11:15
Now I grew up watching Mr. Rogers Neighborhood and this was a children's
185
675530
5470
11:21
show that was different than others because Mr. Rogers actually treated kids
186
681000
4650
11:25
like intelligent people that deserved quality programming just like that of adults.
187
685650
4950

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is about what Mr. Rogers
188
690600
2840
11:33
was like in real life.
189
693440
1620
11:35
That little bit that he put into each of us that little
190
695700
3420
11:39
lesson that little sense of propriety or neighborliness that he put into us
191
699120
4830
11:43
that's the thing that I think is kind of immeasurable.
192
703950
3750
11:47
Is it alive in the land given how polarized we are?
193
707700
3480
11:51
So I made this film I want to know I think let's
194
711180
2850
11:54
have a discussion what kind of neighbors are we are we living up to what Fred
195
714030
3810
11:57
Rogers wanted us to do?
196
717840
1560
11:59
Now I actually thought that Tom Hanks should have won
197
719400
2640
12:02
best actor for this movie because he had a stellar performance in this film now
198
722040
4470
12:06
it's very rare for me to cry during a movie but A Beautiful Day in the
199
726510
3450
12:09
Neighborhood sure had me close.
200
729960
1340
12:11
It's a tear-jerker which if you don't know what
201
731300
2170
12:13
that is it's a movie that might make you cry but that has a really satisfying and
202
733470
4830
12:18
heartfelt ending.
203
738300
1980
12:20
Now one of the things that I really love about this one is
204
740280
2190
12:22
that there are a lot of lessons that we can learn about kindness which for a
205
742470
4110
12:26
goal citizen like yourself is a really important value that I think that the
206
746580
4110
12:30
world needs more than ever today.
207
750690
3710
12:34
Number one: The Dark Knight.
208
754400
3360
12:37
Here's my card.
209
757760
1680
12:40
Bruce this is Harvey Dent.
210
760769
2771
12:43
Rachel's told me everything about you.
211
763540
1360
12:44
Well I certainly hope not.
212
764900
1220
12:48
You once told me that we'd be together, did you mean it?
213
768260
4060
12:52
Bruce don't make me your only hope for a normal life.
214
772320
3440
12:57
-You're Alfred, right? -That's right, sir.
215
777040
2340
12:59
Any psychotic ex-boyfriends i should be aware of?
216
779380
1820
13:01
Oh you have no idea.
217
781200
2340
13:05
Now I actually rewached this one last year and I had forgotten how incredible it was it
218
785140
6200
13:11
really was revolutionary as far as superhero movies go, it broke the mold
219
791350
4770
13:16
which means that it kind of takes something that's normal and it does it
220
796120
3390
13:19
in a completely different way.
221
799510
1830
13:21
In The Dark Knight we see some really
222
801340
1770
13:23
mind-blowing performances from all the actors especially Heath Ledger who made
223
803110
4530
13:27
a really unforgettable Joker.
224
807640
2260
13:30
-You complete me. -You're a garbage, you kill for money.
225
810620
4900
13:35
Don't talk like one of them you're not, even if you'd like to be.
226
815520
4540
13:40
So, if you haven't seen The Dark Knight then a great place to start is the lesson
227
820260
4680
13:44
that we made with this movie and if you have seen it then why not go rewatch it
228
824950
4050
13:49
maybe it was surprising again just as much as it did for me.
229
829000
4880
13:55
All right I hope you've had a lot of fun, we have barely scratched the surface.
