Count me in.
Movies are good teachers - watch the movie with subtitles in translation, then with subtitles in English, then without.  Or find the filmscript online and print it out.

Here's a cool site loaded with filmscripts:
script-o-rama.com

Navigating is hard at first, but this a fun way to study movie dialogue.  My old students enjoyed Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Frazier.  I've heard about Saturday Night Live's popularity with EU students, but never tried it with my Taiwanese sts - not very concerned with US politics.
There's a video website somewhere that's tailored for ESL with good use of subtitles.  I'll research more.

Sure!

I teach you English and you teach me French.

Fair deal?

Let me know. :)


Best,

Here's a cool website with many English activities.  A lot of emphasis on videos:
english-attack.com
Well-targeted lessons.  For example, there are 7 video clips from movies about business and the workplace, ie, Office Space, The Devil Wears Prada, etc.
Have fun.
