videos to start conversations

Hi,

I have just used the great video shared by Florimago about the Polish grandpa learning English to be able to talk with his grandchild with my adult group as a converstion starter. It worked just great.

Do any of you have other videos I could use for my group of students to start a conversation about a topic interesting for adults.

Thanks in advance

That �s the ad that Ronit is talking about:

It �s SOOOO moving. It �s an ad of a local variation of ebay, very popular here and the shorter version runs in TV right now. With so many Poles who emigrated to Britain it strikes a special chord, but it �s just so well made. Make sure to have a peek - after all it �s about a grandpa learning English

Cheers,
