According to recent statistics, it's said that

learning English can bring a series of benefits.

Among them are improved and widened employment prospects.

Exploring the world with confidence.

Opening up a world of entertainment and popular culture.

And believe it or not, it can even help you with your problem

solving skills.

Today, we are going to learn English with news.

In this lesson, we'll understand the vocabulary and structures they use.

And you'll take a quiz to check your comprehension

while seeing examples of news related vocabulary

from TV series and real events.

The news is a great resource because no matter if it's art,

celebrities, politics or any other topic, that's interesting.

You can find new broadcasts that you will enjoy by watching the news.

You improve your listening.

Boost your vocabulary and expand your cultural repertoire

to discuss the topic you like with actual English speakers.

that they don't have anyone to practice what they are learning with.

Well, on the RealLife app, you can have conversations

As I mentioned at the beginning of the video, watching

or listening to the news is a great source of listening inputs.

This will eventually help you with grammar and vocabulary

as they will come to you in a more intuitive way.

Listening to English will help you get a feel for the language

and build a memory bank in your brain with the words you have seen and heard.

That's why you shouldn't worry

if you're not able to understand 100% of what's being said.

Even when you have the news

in your own language, you are still able to understand the context,

even if you are doing something else while watching or seeing them.

Let's try.

You should focus on getting the main message,

not only understanding every word.

Listen to the news opening and take the quiz.

I hope you enjoyed learning all about the news today.

Next to help you better understand fast English.

I would recommend that you learn English

with this lesson we made on the Real Life English Channel.

Let's check out a clip from that.

We have some breaking news out

of a fast food restaurant in Washington, D.C.

An unidentified exchange student was in McDonald's

when a team member asked him, What would you like?

The exchange student was confident

because he'd practiced many times before in his head.

He replied, “I'll have a sprite, please”.

He'd been waiting a while when his name was called.
