About this episode

In this episode, I talk to Cara Leopold, an English teacher from Scotland, who specialises in teaching listening through movies. 

Are there people whose speaking is ahead of their listening? What kind of students does Cara work with? What does Cara think about dubbing and using subtitles to learn English? What are the best movies to learn English with? Listen to find out.
