This is one of ten episodes of a public television program for teaching ESL (titled "Speak Easy"), that I wrote in the early 1990s for the City of Boston. Seems a bit dated now, but I think the core concept was a good one: have actors who are non-native speakers of English themselves show various scenarios of how English is used in everyday US life, and then have an on-screen teacher explain the grammar and usage involved.
