Another problem is that you can’t see the text – they never show you the text for the main dialog. Why go to all the hassle of doing a TV show if you’re not going to show the text! I mean, what the hey? As the actors speak you get the English translation simultaneously in subtitles.tiffany jewelry This is a fatal mistake to my mind – the teacher should always get learners involved by letting them figure things out for themselves before the explanations. This means that if there were parts of the text that you didn’t get or wanted to explore, you couldn’t see it – you had to make do with the examples that Da Shan provided and those came mostly in the form of a laundry list. Not much lexis there!
