Linguafilm Czech Vol.1

In the first part of the exciting Linguafilm Czech educational project, we have captured – on film as well as on the printed page – an initial series of twelve episodes. Each episode is taken from a real-life situation and has been filmed in an authentic environment. Our aim throughout has been to make these films as interesting as possible, and, whilst the emphasis has been on conventional situations, the setting, storyline and characters may be unusual, and there is plenty of humour, irony and surprising twists to the story! The focus is on phrases, expressions and vocabulary that are in common usage, and while listening, students can follow an English, Russian, German or French translation.

Linguafilm Czech Vol.1 – interactive teaching material suitable both for beginners and advanced students. 12 stories captured on film on DVD, accompanied by a colorful book with texts on themes such as: Internet café, Hotels, Bowling and darts, Dry cleaners, Motorcycles, City public transport, General practitioners, Language schools, Estate agents, etc.
