For North & South lovers #richardarmitage
Here’s a BBC Radio 4 program on North & South (the Gaskell version). I have not listened to it yet but I have assurances from the person who shared it with me that it’s excellent. I can stream it in the U.S., so I’m hopeful others can as well.
Me + Richard Armitage 
I just listened to it and I found it very enjoyable, Elizabeth Gaskell was a very interesting woman, I had no idea of her background.

Her life experiences seemed to really shape her novel.

I’m an avid Radio 4 listener and usually download In Our Time. It’s always fascinating but it makes a change to listen to a program about a familiar subject.
Well worth a listen.

Thank you, 🙂 ! This article supplements my knowledge of E Gaskell and her place in English literature of the 19th century.
For a short while, I have been taking English lessons. Also I will share with the students, the idea to listen or download Radio 4’s programs.( Recently they studied a bit of Charles Dickens’ novel: Little Dorrit. So why not…?)
I think everyone can find on BBC, a topic that interests him or her. Although on Youtube, it is quite easy to find a lot of report, on any topic, accessible to non-native English-speaker. But soon, I should have to learn something about download, not to only depend on my son, anymore.

Hope it would improve my English language, before Le Mans’ 24 hours. But till yet, I met potential new friends. But I am not brave enough, to tell them the real unavowable reason of me taking English lessons. May be later?
Recently, I spoke about “The Impressionists” only to an old acquaintance; a painter, who wants to be a closer relative with us, as previously. She is a HUMAN BEING, who can be proud of herself (with hardship through life). She displayed several paintings in NY last year and in others countries.
