"English spelling urgently needs 'spring-cleaning.'  Left to itself, it may result in quite two separate English languages coming into existence, one spoken and one written."  From the Bombay Sunday Chronicle, 1937.

Learning pure English by being "on the sence [sic]" of Gone with the Wind.  One learns to say such things as "my ear bobs" and "you're not worth three hundred dollars."

"Watching classical movie, learning pure English.  The most classical movie in the 20th century.  Everlasting love affair over the centuary [sic].  Moving the heaven and world.  Vivien Leigh & Clark Gable as the leading feature.  Placing yourself into the scene, listening to idiomatic dialogue, learning in the fun.  You will get a great surprise in your oral English and listening skills after you understand ten movies."

It's a beautifully designed and rather bizarre language instruction, here on Archive dot org.
