Drama English

Lights. Camera. English.

The best way to remember English is to feel it.

Instead of memorizing vocabulary lists, you’ll build confidence through movie scenes, TV shows, real scripts, workplace roleplays, and expressive conversation that helps English stay with you naturally.

⛪CHURCH SERVICES DURING CLASS???🙏👼

September 17, 2026 No Comments

For the first time ever, I did a bit of a church service in class the other day.

I have a student that moved to a new country and town for her job. She went to church and did not understand the English. So, I made a dialogue with AI and we actually read the service together.

She read the part of the priest. I read the part of the people, or congregation and we had a good time. 👼

Moments like this are why I love this job. It is always something new. But also, my student can now walk into church with more ability to follow along, instead of just standing there hoping to keep up. That’s the real goal of language learning. 🙏✨ Another brand new feather in my hat too I guess… 😀

🎭WHAT IS ‘DRAMA ENGLISH’???

August 8, 2026 No Comments

What is Drama English? 🎭

Drama English is one of my most popular and unique classes.

In Drama English, students read and act out dialogues — in English. The dialogues are about real situations: job interviews, vacations, conversations at work, everyday life.

Sometimes I write custom dialogues based on YOUR real life. Sometimes we use famous movie scenes.

Why does it work?
Because acting forces you to FEEL the language — not just read it. You use emotion, tone and expression. You stop thinking about grammar and start thinking about meaning.

This week in Drama English:
Check back here for scenes, dialogues and exercises from Pete’s Drama English classes. 😊

🎬PRIDE AND PREJUDICE 2005

MOVIE DRAMA CHALLENGE: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE 2005: Can you say the lines ‘correctly.’ (See the parentheses. 😉 )

Mr. Darcy:
So, what do you recommend, to encourage affection?
(He is genuinely curious but also somewhat guarded. He respects Elizabeth’s intelligence and is trying to engage with her, though he is not sure if she is teasing him.)

Elizabeth Bennet:
Dancing, even if one’s partner is barely tolerable.
(She says this with a mixture of wit and mild sarcasm. She is still annoyed by his earlier rude remark about her, so she is taking a small, playful revenge by turning his own words back on him. However, she also enjoys the challenge of matching wits with him.)

[turns around and leaves]
(She walks away with confidence, not waiting for his reply. She is proud and wants to show him that she is not desperate for his attention. She also leaves him with something to think about, which pleases her.)
