Netflix's Most-Binged Shows in 2017

12/28/2017

0 Comments

 
I ask my students to watch at least one season of any series in English with English subtitles turned on. Even if you can understand the show without subtitles, turning them on in English provides all kinds of benefits, not the least of which is reinforcing the phonetics points we look at in class. Looking for ideas of what to watch? Try one of these shows. Bingeing is optional.

    My goal is to pique your interest, to get you to stay a minute or more, so you don't even realize you are doing something that advances your English.
