Dear All,
I looked through all Ted Ed Lessons and I selected all films connected with English speaking countries. I found them very useful while teaching about culture, traditions, geography and history of the UK and USA. In this message I’m sending you a list of films connected with the UK and Ireland. Within next few days I’ll send you a list of films connected with the USA.
I hope you�ll find them useful.
All the very best,
Monika.
