ESCAPE TO THE CONTINENT (Netflix)

Nicki Chapman, Anita Rani and Alistair Appleton are the different hosts or presenters who accompany British couples to countries on the continent because they are looking for a potential new home in a new country.

This programme is fun because the couples are all so different, and besides it's really interesting to get an introduction to countries we know so little about.

Thank you, BBC, for another great show. And thanks for the beautiful English we can practice with this TV programme, highly recommended for students of English as a foreign languague. The accents are perfect, the vocabulary about everyday life is really useful. And viewers will enjoy and learn about different countries and cities.

Enjoy yourself. You can find ESCAPE TO THE CONTINENT in Netflix.
