Many of these videos are excellent for helping you improve your understanding and use of English. What you hear is not classroom talk, but it is the fast, natural English that you need to understand if you want to use English in education, work and play.
We at Real English for Gamers will help you in many ways.
- We will help you find the best video streamers and YouTubers for learning English.
- We will help you understand the language they use.
- We will also help you find the best games to watch and to play.

We have already posted dozens of videos on our website and our YouTube channel. The videos are all in English, but the language is not too difficult for you to understand.
Typically, the videos have an introduction explaining what the video is about and why it is useful. Then there are vocabulary explanations of words and phrases you need to know from the video clips. Finally, there are excerpts from actual game-related videos. The speech is fast, but we have included the text so you can see what is being said.
