Is Sherlock Holmes good for learning English?

Sherlock Holmes works well for learners who already understand English comfortably and want more challenging listening practice. At around 66 words per minute, the rhythm of the dialogue is manageable and easy to follow. Learners should expect a wider range of words and expressions than in easier listening practice. Following the story requires attention, so language difficulty is not the only challenge here. For learners around B2/C1, this can be a practical choice for building vocabulary range.
