Dear friends,

I �m teaching an intermediate conversation class, younger and older adults. They asked me to recommend movies, series etc. that they can watch to improve listening skills and vocabulary in their free time. I thought about this and I came up with a couple of suggestions (see below).

Do you have more ideas? Which movies do your adult learners like? Is there anything free on the internet that you can recommend?

Thanks for your help!!
