probably know if you follow our channel we are all about helping you to find

ways to make understanding English fun with TV series.

So that said, all the time

English learners from around the world just like you asked me "what is the best

TV series to learn English with?"

Well as you probably know as the hosts of this

channel I absolutely love watching TV series and this probably makes me a

little bit of an expert.

Now, I know this might sound like a simple question but

it's actually quite complex because first of all it depends on a variety of

factors such as what is your current level, what are your personal preferences

what are your English learning goals and so on.

And in addition to this there are

tons of series out there to choose from and they're making new ones all the time.

So that said I still really want to help you to answer this question and so I

have made a list of the best series to learn English with in 2020.

Now these are all series that I've actually personally watched over the last year and I've

tried to kind of mix them up to give you a variety so that no matter where you

are or what your English learning goals are be it learning English for business,

learning English for law, learning English for science or just learning

English to be able to have an everyday conversation you are bound to find

something that you're going to love in this list and of course since I've

watched all of these personally over the last year I know that they are all going to

be super fun and entertaining for you.

By the way if you're new here every week we

make fun lessons to help you to understand your favorite TV series

without getting lost without missing the jokes and without

subtitles like Mariane who says that our lessons give her the perfect mix of

fun and learning so that she can understand everything.

All right so now let's take a look at the best series to learn English with in 2020.

Number 10

Stranger Things.

Something is coming, something hungry for blood.

What is it?

The Demogorgon.

We're in deep shit.

Later

See you tomorrow.

-Good night, ladies. -Kiss your mum night for me.

Now guys this one is super entertaining, it's fun and

it is definitely a must watch that you can catch on Netflix.

Now the reason that

I love this one is because it's super unique in that it kind of it's a

nostalgia of the 80s first of all, you know I was born in the 80s I grew up

with a lot of the pop culture of that era so if you're similar that you grew

up with these things you're definitely going to love that aspect of it.

But even if you didn't, it's got a fresh young cast and one of the things that

makes it really great is that you're kind of waiting for monsters to pop out

so it's kind of a thriller and then at the same time it blends in elements of

comedy so I think this kind of combination kind of keeps you

entertained throughout the entire first season.

Now last year the season 3 came

out and frankly I wasn't even sure if I was going to watch it because season 2

was definitely disappointing it didn't really deliver on everything that we

loved about season 1 but eventually I decided to give it a try and watch

season 3 and it did not disappoint.

It brought back everything that we loved

about season 1 while also bringing new villains and a whole new plot so it goes

without saying that I'm definitely looking forward to watching season 4 and

I highly recommend that you check out this series.

Number 9.

Rick and Morty

Now, are you ready to laugh I mean like really laugh so hard that your ribs hurt?

Well Rick and Morty is a perfect show for this.

If you enjoy animated series

this one is definitely different than what you might be accustomed to with the

likes of SpongeBob SquarePants or The Simpsons.

Now what this series does

because it takes very complex scientific theories or philosophy and kind of

explains it in a very accessible way but what makes Rick and Morty unique is

definitely the characters that we have here the old man Rick who is kind of a

crazy insane scientist who doesn't really care what anyone thinks of him

and Morty who is a timid young boy who just loves helping out his grandfather.

Now this is fantastic for your English because you will learn idioms and

expressions, vocabulary the natives use in everyday life while at the same time

having the opportunity to learn a lot of vocabulary that is specific to science.

So in conclusion you're both equally mercurial overly sensitive clingy

hysterical birdbrain humonculon and I honestly can't even tell the two of you

apart half the time because I don't go by height or age,

I go by amount of pain in my ass,

which makes you both identical.

However, I should warn you that this series is not for everyone.

The humor in it can be dark and sometimes even

offensive but if you want to get a taste of what this series is all about then

you can check out this fun lesson that we made with it by clicking up at the

top right of the screen.

Number eight.

Friends

Now if you've been following us then you know this is one of our favorite series.

Now I know that you're probably asking yourself "what the heck is Friends, such

an old series from the 90s, doing on a top ten list for 2020?"

Well the reason that I include this one is that I actually

rewatched the whole ten seasons last

year in 2019 and I have to tell you I laughed a ton and I fell in love all

over again with all of the characters and their stories.

It definitely has not lost any of its relevance.

Check out what Selena Gomez recently said about it:

You know what makes me so happy is that I would watch

it on channel 33 at 10:30 every night on Thursday with my mom.

-Yes -And I cried

when the whole season was over but what made me so happy is like now now like

people my age and everyone else is just obsessed and it just makes me so happy

for you and for the show because it's iconic.

Oh god I love you.

And other fans that you might know about include Taylor Swift.

I watch endless Friends marathons for comfort.

Harry Styles,

First question is: "Sing your favorite TV show theme tune".

What should we do?

"So noone told you life was gonna be this way"

"Your job's a joke, you're broke Your love life's D.O.A"

And the lead singer of the popular k-pop band, BTS.

How did you teach yourself English?

Um actually my English teacher was a sitcom, Friends,

Oh you watched Friends!

Yes.

So was it mainly just phrases then?

Or you just learned everything?

Um, I think you know back in the days like when I was like 15, like 14 it was quite

like a syndrome for all the Korean parents to make their kids watch the Friends.

-Really? -So, yeah.

For...I thought I was kind of like a victim at that time

but well right now I'm the lucky one so like thanks my mother she

she bought that all the other seasons for DVDs, it got 10 DVDs, right?

Right.

So about me, and so firstly I watched with the Korean subtitle and the next

time I watched with the English subtitle and then i just removed it.

That's very impressive and Friends would be very happy that you learned

Thank you!

And there's probably no series out there that is better for learning English.

In fact, various academic studies have actually shown that this is probably the best

series that has ever been made for learning English.

Now this has to do with

kind of the storyline, you know friends spending a lot of time sitting around in

a cafe speaking about life's everyday problems but it also just has to do with

this having such a huge influence on the english as it's spoken today.

So if you would love to learn English with Friends and have a ton of fun doing it well

there's no better way than with our Fluent with Friends course, now in this

forty eight week course you will learn alongside the first two seasons getting

all the vocabulary, pronunciation and cultural context that you need to fully

understand this series while getting a ton of confidence in your English.

Number seven: Succession.

Everything I've done in my life

I've done for my children I know I've made mistakes but I've always tried to

do the best final because I love them.

Maybe you thought about the possibility

that your children are actually scared of you?

Oh fuck off!

Succession tells the story of a not so typical family called the Roy's let's

see exactly why.

This is my vision, I take over, you two under me.

Under you.

Let me think about it?

-Of course. -I thought about it, fuck you.

This family's broken and that has consequences.

Kick out the old man, him with the new guard.

Where've you been?

I was meeting about a prospective job.

With your father's enemy?

Disagreeing with dad is not treason.

You want this enough to go to war with your family.

Now, the reason that this series is on the list is not only because it's super entertaining

but I recommend it for you because it is great for learning business English

let's take a look at an example of some of the typical sort of vocabulary that

you'll learn for business, be careful because the series does include a lot of

vulgar language which is a part of real-life English but if you prefer not

to see that then you might want to skip over this example.

Yeah I'll take it

so all they need is adults in the room accounting team, analytics team and

investment we burned 50 million for a few years we, we make it the best thing

in the world.

Oh is that all?

But you always say "got a burn to turn".

Well, that's what's your read.

And you know it's interesting dad because I hear

everything he's saying and it actually it almost sounds like a good pitch but I

call bullshit I spent some time down there and I'm just not seeing it I don't

know exactly what they're doing but they're fakes

fucking beehives almond milk and take another week on that report, Matilda it

smells wrong and they're hiding shit.

Oh.

Now this series is a drama with a little

bit of comedy and it has won a bunch of awards such as the Golden Globe for Best Drama.

You can check out succession on HBO.

Number six: The Crown.

We're ready for you, your Majesty.

Three, two, one.

This is Jubilee day, this is a day of grueling as the Queen's

coronation 25 years ago.

Now with this one let's head over to England

because this series is perfect for learners of British English now it's all

about the history of Queen Elizabeth the second, the current Queen of England and

the Royal Family as she came to power.

Now the reason we include it in this list

is because it uses a classic sort of British English called received

pronunciation, which is likely what you need to learn if you're learning British English.

If that man wins, he'll want us out.

This is no longer peacetime

This country was still great when I came to the throne, all that's happened on my

watch is the place is falling apart.

You cannot flinch any falling apart if

we say it is, that's the thing about the monarchy we paper over the cracks.

Now if you enjoyed this series and the language that you can learn in it then you might

also want to check out Downton Abbey.

Number five: Suits.

Why don't we go out and celebrate?

We're all on the same boat now.

I'm taking full control as Managing partner.
