As usual, my students ask me for suggestions of good television shows to help them learn English. Here is a list of TV shows I think are good for the English learner. I also included a short description of the show and its style as well as the link to the official web site so you can check out the schedule.If you have any suggestions, email them to me!

This is a decoration show and it is excellent for house vocabulary as well as colours, furniture and tools in general. It is one of my favorite shows! You can learn about decoration and construction in a fun way. |

You like babies and everything about them? This is the place where you can learn the vocabulary as well as medical terms because this show mostly takes place in the hospital. |

This is an EXCELLENT television show for people who need vocabulary because you see the images with the words! Plus, it is very interesting. You will learn how erasers are made, how toilet paper is made, how a recreation vehicle is made, nylons, tires, bathtubs, rollerskates, etc...

You are a man? Or you like engines, cars, trucks, etc??? This is the place to learn everything about them. Two teams have a special vehicle to build within a time limit and then, they compete to see who has the best vehicle! It is really funny but it is filmed in England so the accent is difficult to understand. |

This site is about change. Changing hair colour, changing looks, changing style from A to Z! You can learn clothes vocabulary as well as some body parts, colours, styles, etc. It is a fun show if you like transformations.

This is the tv show of the well known Steve Irwin, the crazy guy who chases crocodiles and deadly snakes. This is a very interesting television show about animals, mostly reptiles, but Steve is from Australia! His accent is out of this world! But take a look anyway, just watching the images is plenty! |
