    Pride and Prejudice! This is a good book! The movie about it is also very good!

    @Marie Hello! What a coincidence, I'm watching this movie currently to get use to British accent and culture. Maybe it'll help me. Anymore recommendation for me? Have a good day! 😊

    I usually advise people to read the screenplay first because they are easier to read and take less time. Most American TV shows have already been translated so English version and the translation are often side by side.

    The new Little Women is another good adaptation.

    One recommendation for English learners, do also try to watch more current shows or movies. Period dramas, set in the 1800’s, do not always reflect well the way native English speakers speak in 2021.

    I’ve got the worst reading habits. Shallow movie adaptations always do it for me. With that being said, Pride and Prejudice with Keira is one of the greatest romcoms I’ve seen.

    Pride and Prejudice is my all time favorite! Austen was ahead of her time and had really progressive ideas. I agree with the suggestion of using more contemporary books for language though. Here is a list of YA adaptations. The language level is a little easier and more contemporary than you usually find in adult adaptations. https://www.google.com/amp/s/bookriot.com/ya-movie-adaptations-guide/amp/

    I recommend; ‘A Walk in the Woods’ by Bill Bryson. The movie is excellent, but the book is absolutely incredible writing. Highly recommend for English reading, listening, and watching practice.

    @Marie In China, it's easier to find everything, especially American TV shows. I'm doing an English corner using the TV show, The Good Place, where we read and analyze the dialogue and then test their ability to understand the idioms in context.
