Aw yeah, guys! What's going on? Today I have a much requested lesson for you about the 10
Best Series on Netflix to learn English with. So one of the amazing things that Netflix has
brought to us is just a whole world of programs in different languages,
which really wasn't possible before. Before we were at the mercy of whatever
they were putting on TV, which normally was just in our native language. And another really
great thing about this is the sheer variety of different shows that we find on Netflix.
So the great thing here is that if you need to learn vocabulary about
virtually any subject there's probably some series on Netflix to help you to do it,
and a really helpful way to do this is to try something that you haven't watched before.
So for example you could try a reality show or a docu-series and maybe you
want to focus on a very specific accent. Maybe you're learning Australian English.
Well the search function of Netflix is fantastic for this, because you can look up
Australian TV shows and find some TV series that's going to help you to focus on that accent.
So in today's list I'm just focusing on Netflix Originals,
because the programming in every country is a little bit different but Netflix Originals tend
to be available in every single one. So this will make sure that they are
available to you and I'll also focus on a variety of different programs,
so that you can be sure you'll find something that you love in this list. Let's get into it!
So this is a hilarious sitcom, and the story is very different than the series
that we normally learn with, like Friends, The Big Bang Theory and even Modern Family.
So it's about a girl who is tricked into living in an underground shelter because
she thought that the apocalypse came. But then she escapes and tries to start living a normal
life in New York City. Obviously she can't escape her past though and many hilarious moments ensue.
And you may even recognize the main actress if you are a fan of The Office.
So if you love comedies this is definitely a great one to give a try.
All right now going in a very different direction from the
first one this one has a very intense plot.
Because it's about the story of the 13 Reasons Why a high school girl decided to take her own life.
Now it focuses on the subject of bullying in high schools in the United States
and it's actually really great for learning vocabulary related to that.
However I wouldn't really recommend the seasons past the first one. I thought the first one was
really the best one by far, and actually if you want to get a taste of that we made a
lesson with it a while back and you can find that clicking up here or down the description below.
Now before we move on to the next series, to number eight, I wanna let you know that if
you are new here every single week we make fun lessons like this one,
to help you understand fast speaking natives without getting lost, without missing the
jokes and without subtitles. Just like our fan Kamran, who says that thanks to our lessons he
can almost speak like an American. So we'll help you reach your English learning goals too. Just
hit the Ssubscribe button and the Bell below and you won't miss a single one of our new lessons.
All right let's go back to a lighter one. This one is from Matt Groening,
the creator of The Simpsons, so if you enjoy that one you'll probably also love this one.
It's really funny, I laugh a lot every single time I watch it and it's a really
great one for you if you want to learn magical vocabulary, which is useful if you enjoy books
like Harry Potter or Game of Thrones, for example. Now I would mention another series as well that's
a little bit similar called Big Mouth. Now the reason that I didn't say this as a principle one
on this list is because it has very dirty humor, so if you're easily offended might not be for you,
but my ribs actually hurt watching that one. So you might like that one as well,
so if you like animated series and you need a laugh those are really great ones to give a watch.
Now if you have Netflix I bet you probably already watched this one but just in case you
didn't I already talked about this one in the Top Series of 2020 video. Let's see what I said there.
Now guys this one is super entertaining, it's fun and it is definitely a must watch that you
can catch on Netflix. Now the reason that I love this one is because it's super unique in that it
kind of is a nostalgia of the 80's first of all. You know I was born in the 80s I grew up with a
lot of the pop culture of that era, so if you're similar that you grew up with these things you're
definitely going to love that aspect of it. But even if you didn't it's got a fresh young cast
and one of the things that makes it really great is that you're kind of waiting for monsters to pop
out, so it's kind of a thriller and then at the same time it blends in elements of comedy. So I
think this kind of combination kind of keeps it entertaining throughout the entire first season.
By the way if you want to be able to understand any of the series on this list then we can help
you to do it even without the subtitles. The best way to start is with our FREE 3-Part Masterclass.
Now in this Masterclass you're going to learn the 3 Principles to being able
to understand natives at any speed. Which are Vocabulary, Pronunciation and Cultural Context.
So you can try that absolutely FREE looking up here or down description below.
Now this is a docu-series featuring actor Zac Efron,
and it's all about exploring different healthy and renewable ways to live.
And what I absolutely love about this one is that you get to experience so many unique and amazing
places around the world. Just for an example in the first one he travels to Iceland to learn
about renewable energy. And this isn't really a topic that I thought I would find so interesting,
but in the end I found it fascinating and the really great thing is that you not only learn
about things like this, but you also get to learn about the local culture of these different places.
And of course one of my favorite topics the food, and speaking of food let's move on to number five.
Hey so if you want to learn vocabulary for cooking this one is hands down fantastic. Or
maybe you just want to improve your skills in the kitchen. Either way just like down to earth this
one takes us all around the world to meet some of the most exceptional chefs on the planet.
Now for me food is definitely one of my favorite parts of traveling,
and when I travel I always like to try the local specialties.
So this is a great way to do it virtually especially with Covid. And another bonus
is that you can learn some words in different languages, like French, Italian or even Swedish.
Alright so just being completely honest I haven't seen the original Narcos -it's on my list-
but I absolutely loved Narcos Mexico. It's based on a true story, which I think makes
it even more interesting to kind of learn how this unraveled and stuff, because I had heard
about it in the news when I was younger, and this is a really great one for any of
you that are looking for a series that's more exciting, that kind of follows a police drama,
also trying to catch the criminals and obviously any vocabulary related to that.
Now I think one of the ones that makes this one really interesting is that you'll
hear both Spanish and English. And as I speak both of them I really like that aspect of it,
that it's kind of bilingual. Even if you don't speak Spanish though,
of course there's subtitles in English and if you want to learn a little bit
then that's going to be a great way! You'll kind of be killing two birds with one stone.
All right, so let's move far away from Mexico over to Jolly Old England,
I'm actually currently watching this one, because season four just came out and I'm
absolutely fascinated by it. It's all about the history of Elizabeth II, how she came to power
and all about her family as well, the Royal Family, which I'm sure you have heard about.
And this is really great because it's actually based on true events, much like Narcos Mexico,
so you get to learn a lot about British history, and culture. And I've actually been learning also
some different words that are different in British and American English. And furthermore for you as
an English learner I think that the queen's English is really easy to understand, so if
you're working on your British accent at all, that can be another really great benefit of it.
Now one of the things that I'm loving about this current season
is that it's actually starting to catch up to things that happened during my lifetime.
So I'm really kind of curious to see how they're going to depict some of those more recent events.
Now I actually just recently watched this one, and it's actually been one of my favorites so far that
I've seen in 2020. There are four seasons so far I believe, and if you love Game of Thrones then
this is definitely a must watch for you. Now it starts off a little bit slow,
but if you hang in there I guarantee you're going to love it, because every
single season gets better than the last. Now it's all about the history of England,
kind of similar to The Crown, but going much further back. So it's about how the
vikings actually invaded the Island and how England eventually became a unified nation.
And if you enjoyed this one another really great one that didn't quite make this list
but that is kind of similar is The Witcher, so definitely check that out as well.
However down to number one, and I absolutely love this one guys,
so this is a fascinating series from the creators of The Matrix.
And if you consider yourself a Global Citizen, I know you're going to love it too, because
it's about eight people from different corners of the Globe, that are somehow interconnected.
So they're actually able to share each other's knowledge, skills and even communicate between
one another. And they help each other out in different ways in their lives, and then kind of
together they're fighting an evil organization that's trying to kill people like them.
Now this one was really beautifully done. I loved kind of this feeling of getting to experience
different parts of the world, different cultures and getting to hear these different languages.
And really with this one I was just disappointed that it didn't last longer. It's just two seasons,
so definitely check that out. I think that it's a hard series to beat.
Alright guys, that's the list. I hope that you will find a series that you will adore
watching, that you will love learning English with, that will help you to keep it fun,
natural and convenient. So if there were any that you felt that I missed,
that should have been on this list, then why don't you let us know down in the comments
below because this will help other learners to find other great series to learn English with.
And now it's time to go beyond the classroom and leave your English. Aww yeah!!
