Anything - Just to learn English

I've been in several bookstores in Beijing, including the ones located at the airport. You will see that the Chinese are very keen on learning English. There are hundreds of books, videos and other materials that they are buying just to learn English.

There are aisles full of books on grammar, Technical English, Business English, and English for Tourists. You'll see just about every available learning tool for English. There are DVDs of American TV shows and CNN broadcasts - apparently to get one's ear to get used to sound of the spoken language.

Watch "Friends" and learn English


There's probably better learning materials than these 2 shows

Many South Koreans come to the Philippines for English tutorials. They should come too so Filipinos will earn money too!
