13. Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones

Fantasy, drama, adventure.
US, UK, 2001.
Duration: 8 seasons.
IMDb: 9,5.

The history of the struggle of families of Westeros for the iron throne with unpredictable plot turns. In "Game of Thrones" is an expression that you are unlikely to be useful in everyday life, but you get used to the English language and different accents that are not heard in the Russian dubbing.

An interesting episode from the standpoint of foreign languages, because in it there is a scene where the characters speak a non-existent language, specifically invented by George Martin and the show team. On YouTube you can find an interview with Emilia Clarke (Khalis), where it says, teaches his inspirational speeches to people in a fictional language. I do not know why many people are afraid to watch this episode on the original. Learn a few dozen words ( "heir", "custody", "message", "raven"), you will understand the plot of the original, especially if you watch the show is not the first time.

Duration: 12 seasons.
IMDb: 8,3.

The story will focus on four scientists-botanikah who face ordinary human problems. Periodically the show sounds complicated expressions and scientific terms, but in the rest of the characters are explained in simple language. Despite the abundance of geek jokes, the audience is not familiar with this culture, too, will be pleased. "The Big Bang Theory" was shot for a wide audience.

I know that many people are afraid of this series because of the complex scientific vocabulary. In fact, I think the most interesting speech Penny. After listening to her, you are sure to remember the kind words with which you can call your friends and family. She says the word sweetheart is a million times more often than Sheldon - any scientific term [sarcasm sign]. By the way, the sarcasm and the irony of the series on the Russian did not translate. Plus - Raj, who speaks with an accent, that if you are not persuaded Sofia Vergara from "Modern Family," above, but now you certainly cease to be ashamed of his pronunciation.
