Learning English is not just about mastering grammar and vocabulary; more importantly, it’s about using it naturally in real-life situations. However, sentences in textbooks are often too formal and quite different from real-life expressions. To speak authentic, natural English, you need exposure to conversations in real contexts. Here, we’ve selected frequently used daily English expressions covering social, work, and travel scenarios, helping you get rid of 'textbook English' and learn the way native speakers truly talk. Below is the content of this session: "Learning English through Movies – Inception CD1 09." Keep practicing, and let your English get closer to real life!
