The Hitchhiker (Roald Dahl) | Learn British English with a Short Story | British Accent Storytelling

Improve your British English listening, reading, pronunciation and vocabulary skills with a short story from a native speaker with a British accent! In today's video, I will be reading a thrilling short story called 'The Hitch-hiker', written by the British Author, Roald Dahl.

I will then reread the story, and analyse key parts to help further improve your understanding of the grammar and vocabulary. In total, I will teach 50+ pieces of grammar and vocabulary. This is perfect preparation for the IELTS Listening exam, IELTS reading exam, or general English Listening and Reading Practice!

Braking bad is a darn good series
I like it so much

'Better Call Saul' is even better though. I fell in love with it from the firs episode. Bob Odenkirk is both a great director and actor ❤
I had watched both series only last year despite they had been shot many years ago

My summer school 7th graders read this short story to talk about mood, tone, figurative language and theme. I asked them your three questions. Question 1: We had most of the students say he was a bad man because he stole things and stealing is illegal. We had a couple of students who said he was a good man because he did not steal from the poor and he stole money from the rich that already had too much and they didn't respect the poor or him as a finger smith. Question 2: The students said that he kept introducing characters and situations that covered up what the hitchhiker was actually doing...stealing. You didn't know all that until the end. Question 3: Most of the students said they would NOT pick up a hitchhiker because of the bad things that could happen, like stealing your car, kidnapping you and your family, killing you. We did have a few student who said they would pick up a hitchhiker because you should be kind to the poor and respect everyone. Thank you for reading this story so we could hear and understand the British accent. We are in Tennessee in the USA.

I looked after my uncle's ponies at Cowdray Park Polo Club, in Midhurst, and all my friends there spoke English just like you, without an accent, if you know what I mean ! 😄😀😄😀You are a ⭐, Dylan !

New subscriber here. You are such an amazing educator, I love the content and your teaching skills. To many, many more students! Cheers!

I don't have a problem with the sound, but sorry, I think the script is too small for my normal eyes. I'm struggling to see it. For me, who wants to learn about pronunciation, I usually listen and read at the same time. But overall, it's amazing. Cheers!
