I'm from China and I started learning F. A. 13 years ago when I was 13. Now I'm living in New York and have just finished my Master's degree. Thank you for the cast and crew of F.A., without whom I probably wouldn't be where I am right now.
Five yrs ago I started watching family album usa, I had absolutely no idea WTF they were talking about in ep 1. Now I live in Toronto and have no problem communicating with other people. This is the best English tutorial designed for people hoping to master North American English.
I am so,so ,happy .Many years ago when I was working as a teacher I took this English course .I remember I watched this course on TV every saturday morning .It is excellent , I learnt a lot .Thank you and congratulations from Chile
I still remember when I was watching this 20 yrs ago in my English class, I had a discussion with my classmates on whether Alexandra purposely left her bag at the Stewards' so that Robbie would get a chance to meet her again.
Thanks Julio for uploaded the videos, one of my first books in basic English I studied long time ago. My dear mother paid the course for me . Gracias Mamita "tu bueno para nada" aprendio Ingles y lo sigue haciendo pero en niveles mas avanzados !!!! Un abrazo y un beso al cielo !!!
Oh, thanks for the upload. This reminds me of my childhood. I still remember vividly when I first watch this series from VCD, which I borrowed from my sister. At that time, I never thought of 15 years later I would be living in US. Now I have been in US for 4 years, from a student to a young professional, from CA to IL to MA and to CA again, still struggling to fit in this such exotic, open and separated society. I still have no idea where I will be 15 years from now. "Life was like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you're gonna get."
My childhood memories, wow. I am from China and live in New York now. Last December, I visited my hometown, and ran into my childhood English teacher, he told me wow time flies fast, do you remember how little you were when you in my class, learning Family Album USA? Now you are actually living there, it is like a dream came true.
Muchos recuerdos! Estudiaba inglés con este libro cuando era un niño, la verdad es que me ayudó muchísimo, todos los días veía los DVDs, en fin, es un libro excelente!
Oh my, reminds me of my youth when I watched the series on our national television. Such good memories. I've still got the books! Thanks for uplodading it!
Assisti esses episódios na época q passavam na TV Cultura, há 25 anos. Gravava-os em VHS para assistir depois, e pedi os livros referente aos episódios pelos correios, na época na tinha RU-vid. Como as coisas são mais fáceis hj com a tecnologia disponível.
Beleza Josenildo...Meus irmãos também compraram o curso em 1992 e em 2011 vi que as fitas estavam embolorando e resolvi digitalizá-las. Uma delas estourou quando rebobinei, por sorte já estava tudo no hd.
what amazing surprise for me!!!, I studied with family album at ICPNA during the 90's, and watching again these videos OMG!! they made me go back in time, thanks a lot for your videos!
Excelent learning tool... Very easy & clear . A great thanks for uploading. S-a gasit si cartea pe la noi prin RO si mi s-a parut unul din cele mai limpede structurat curs bine legat de nevoias unei engleze vorbite in viata cotidiana.
Tavo!!! Hombre cómo pasa el tiempo, eh? Sí, me has hecho acordar de cuándo lo más moderno en esos tiempos era tener videos subtitulados en inglés y el profe o la profe ponía un papel en la pantalla para no ver los textos y practicar la comprensión auditiva.
Hi! I'm from Uzbekistan, and i study English for 2 years. But i couldn't speak in English well, that's why my parents recommended me this videos. I was very surprised when I found out that my parents also studied English with your videos. So thanks for your videos❤️ P.S: Sorry for my English, i hope that my English will be better in future😅
Thank you Julio, for posting this great video series with good image and audio - hard to find on youtube. Although it's old - or a classic - as I like to say - the storyline and method are still quite up to date. Cheers,
I've watched the first five minutes and got an impression that dialogues come from an English learning book. Edit: because it is... haha shame on me :>
