This video introduces us to shopping, getting the salesperson’s attention and asking them for help. We also learn colors, and how to say which color is our favorite.

Here we see shoppers asking for help finding the right item. Then we meet Clyde, the rather eccentric owner of Clyde’s Clothing, who shows us their range of clothing and goods, and is very keen to invite us to shop at his store.

Here we get lots of practice hearing “this," “that,” "these,” and “those” used to ask questions and identify objects. Then a silly accident leads to a whole lot of confusion about belongings!

The laundromat is the setting for silly singing about "this" and "that," "these" and "those," and some possessive pronouns. At the same time, we learn about articles of clothing and colors.

On the Side by Side talk show “People Around the World," we meet people of different nationalities, ask what languages they speak, and what they like to do with their time.

Stanley cooks a wide variety of food at his own very special international restaurant. We practice asking and answering simple questions in order to find out what is on the menu each day.

Learn to say what kinds of movies and TV shows you like, what you like to read, and who your favorite sports stars, authors and actors are.

Always, usually, sometimes, or never? Can you say who is doing what, and how often they do it? In this episode of "Side by side," we learn some useful adverbs of frequency.

In this fun video, learn to describe people physically and talk about what they have and don't have. You can use the verb "to have" for inanimate objects and places as well!

It’s time to smile and be happy, because "Side by Side" has another enjoyable lesson for you! This time it's all about feelings and emotions.

Do you wash your dishes in the bathtub? Or bathe your cat on a Friday? "Side by side" helps us say what we do sometimes, always, or never, and also what we are doing “right now.”

It’s important to be able to talk about our skills and abilities, especially when we’re looking for a job. Learn how to say what you can do, and what you can’t, and witness one man discover his true calling!

Today, we learn the difference between what we “can” do and what we “have to” do. We meet poor Herbert, who is sad that nobody can go to his party. Steve, on the other hand, finds it impossible to make plans with his friends, but is also quite inflexible himself.

In English, the future tense can be formed with "going to" + infinitive, though "going to" is often shortened to "gonna" in conversation. In this video, meet some people and find out about their plans.

Here you can hear lots of examples featuring the "going to" future, with sentences starting with "I'm going to" or "I'm gonna." We meet Lance, who has no plans to wash his clothes any time soon, and a businessman who runs us rapidly through his hectic schedule.
