VTV Japan Mikiko Kitagaki/Aki Honda 17:30-18:30 Mon Friends 2nd clip

Hello Mikiko and Aki,

Here's another Friends clip from season 1 - actually, a series of funny clips edited together from an episode called "The One With the Thumb." Let's do one or two parts in the class, then you can do some other parts outside, on your own.

Let's take the approach we were doing with the video last week - listening to parts without sound, with some note-taking, then with sound, and some note-taking.

Have fun!

VTV Japan Mikiko Kitagaki/Aki Honda Mon 17:30-18:30 Friends clip

Hello Mikiko and Aki,

Here's a Friends clip for you from season 1 - the one where Chandler gets trapped in an ATM. It's just over 5 minutes and 30 seconds long.  You can access it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYbBjSda550

Here is what you can do with this:

1. Watch the first 1:07 of the clip without sound. What's happening in it? Can you guess what Chandler might be saying?

2. Now, watch the same part again, with sound. Is anything he says different than what you guessed? Why does he act the way he does?

3. Now watch from 1:08 to 2:39 without sound. What's happening in it? Can you guess what he might be saying?

4. Now watch it again, with sound. Does anything differ from what you guessed?

5. Now do the same with the following three clips - 2:40 to 3:19, 3:20 to 4:25, and 4:26 to the end (5:32). Watch each in order, first with sound, take notes, then with sound. Does your sense of what he said differ from watching it without sound to when you watch it with sound?

Let me know what you think.
