The most difficult question of all!Lesson 19 - Lost in England (Giving Directions) Here we find 10 useable dialogues out of 342 British people interviewed, representing 2 and 1/2 days of videotaping. This campaign took place in the UK, and we had intended to do same in the USA... Note: people tend to give awful directions, hesitating and mumbling more than usual. Lesson 19a - Lost in the USA (Giving Directions)

No challenge is too great for our fearless videotaping crew. Keep tuned for the American version of "Giving Directions" as well as many other new clips with exos in 2006!

 This video is downloaded more than all the others. We don't know why!Lesson 23 - What have you got in that bag?

"I have got" = "I've got" = "I have" = "I got"! We have included British interviewees in this clip to illustrate that both Americans and the British use all 4 formulas.

Lesson 24 - What do you do? What's your job?

15 interviews, some very short, some quite long.		  
  Differences between different parts of the UK seem much greater than the north and south of the USA, for example.Lesson 25 - What do the Scottish think of the English?  
  Using the present simple (do and does) in specific ways. Lesson 26 - "How often do you...?" and "How many hours do you...?"
Questions of time and frequency using the simple present tense.
In addition to Americans, you will meet some Scots and Irish people who speak quite clearly.		  
  Look at the person between and behind Caroline and Sarah. What does she do for fun? Watch the clip! Lesson 27 - What do you do for fun?
This is a brand new, all-American edit. All the exercises in this video are based on this new video. For our "global friends", you will also find a second edit which is exactly the same as the CD-ROM version wherein half of the dialogues are with Irishmen and Scots.

Lesson 29 - "What do you do like to do for fun?" and "Do you like your job?"
This is a new version, approximately 6 minutes in duration. Was an extremely long video and now is re-edited into 2 videos.		  
  Joe was asking himself this question. He likes talking to people! Lesson 30 - This is the latest version of "like to do" and "like doing". It includes both review and preview material, providing an excellent summary of the structures and vocabulary in Units 1 through 24, with a peek of upcoming functions and structures.
