NETFLIX: BINGE WATCHING (AND LEARNING ENGLISH) HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER!

Teenagers have a good reason not to study: in fact a new on demand platform has become more and more popular since it was launched in 1997 in California, USA.

We are just joking: boys and girls should study, but after spending some time on school books, they could rest on their sofa while watching a good TV series or a movie, in English to improve their competence or in Italian if they are not good enough.

But we haven’t told you yet what kind of portal Netflix is: it includes several programmes, such as films, documentaries and TV shows, with an interactive interface which let you watch what you like most!

If you want to discover more about the Netflix universe, you can read the following paragraph.
