I am thinking of bringing some American TV shows to Vietnam, so she can learn English and learn about American culture. I am thinking of bring Friends or Frazier (this show tends to use big vocabulary though). What would you recommend?

I recently got the old black & white "The ADDAMS FAMILY" TV show DVD from the library.

So far I've seen 2 episodes - one was hilarious and one was kind of flat (Granama's art lesson).

They portray a warm family and use very common idioms. They are all freaks and zombies,

but don't hold that against them.

I have not seen "The Addams family," but it sure looks interesting. I will definitely check it out.

c-span puts out a 30 minute to 1 hour compilation of 'Prime Minister's Questions' each week, from the British Parliament House.

IMO, if yer really gonna learn English - that's a great TV show to watch. (Seriously)

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Difficult? Yes, for most ESL students it would be. Boring is another word I'd use to describe it. The goal is to get someone interested in the language and I guarantee you that show will not do it for the average Vietnamese. Maybe things work differently in China.

oh - good lord, no... no implication at all.

otoh - contrariwise, once a native chinese speaker DOES 'get it' - oh my - hilarity ensues, lots of 'comparitive insults' thrown down for review. My wife's family always thought was 'nice game' after hours of playing mahjhong - my apologies, that wasn't directed to YOU at all. 'subtlety of insult' is a fine art in China, but also 'rare' - ie - is not so commonplace. Most ppl insult ya quickly and blatantly. 'To be subtle' about it, though, well, perhaps you can see some similarities on language usage? If not, that's ok.. no worries - I truly wasn't trying to be insulting to anyone, just to note that PMQ takes the 'art of insult' to a new level, and once my Chinese family understood it, drew many parallels for example with me.

My bad. To each his own I guess.
