Newsies can help advanced learners become more confident with fast and natural English. The complexity of the plot makes listening more challenging because learners also need to keep track of what is happening. Learners will hear plenty of useful natural English, but some lines may still require a second listen. At an average of around 96 words per minute, the dialogue is generally manageable, though some exchanges require more attention. If your English is close to B2/C1, Newsies can be useful for building confidence with more complex narratives.
