Real English is different. Students who have not lived in an English-speaking country should begin with Lesson 1! Advanced students often have problems with lesson 6! The people in the videos are spontaneous. Spontaneity is difficult, just like real situations with strangers are difficult. The people seem to speak fast, but in reality, they are speaking at normal speed. Note: Here is a list of videos with complete lessons.
	Lesson 16 - Five Nationalities - 3/5 What are the French like? Also includes two distinct videos: one short version for beginners and one long version for more advanced students. Levels: Beginner and Intermediate -Level: Beginner / Pre-Intermediate - Lesson 16 Exercises	Real English is also different because of the notion of "levels". "Beginner" and "Intermediate" are relative terms in the world of Real English. There are easy and difficult videos in the 3 intermediate sections. Example: Lesson 43 is easy (for beginners) because the people speak very clearly. But they use a verb structure which is usually called "Intermediate". All the people you meet in Real English speak naturally, but some people speak more clearly, and more slowly than others. On the other hand, "levels" are usually determined according to the relative difficulty of the grammar structure used in a lesson. When we say Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced we are speaking about grammar difficulty, not the way the people speak. This is why you will find some difficult Beginner lessons and some easy Intermediate lessons!
