After Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt discovers he's descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as "Grimms," he increasingly finds his responsibilities as a detective at odds with his new responsibilities as a Grimm.
"Grimm" tells exciting stories about a detective, Nick, who discovers he's a Grimm, a hunter of supernatural creatures. These creatures, called Wesen, hide among us in human form, but Nick can see their true monstrous faces. The show uses words like "Blutbad" (a wolf-like creature), "Hexenbiest" (a witch-like creature), and "Reapers" (Grimm hunters), introducing you to a fantastical vocabulary. Each episode presents a new mystery involving different Wesen, so you'll learn a lot of new words related to crime, investigation, and fantasy. The show explores themes of good versus evil, family loyalty, and the struggle between our human and animal natures. You'll experience a wide range of emotions, from fear and suspense to love and humor, as you follow Nick's journey. The language used is mostly everyday conversational English, but you'll also hear some formal language in police procedures and legal discussions. The dialogue is generally clear and easy to follow, making it good practice for listening comprehension. Because the show is dramatic, you can hear how emotions affect speech, like when characters shout in anger or whisper in fear. Learning English with "Grimm" can be both fun and educational. The engaging storylines will keep you motivated, and the variety of vocabulary and language styles will expand your English skills. The subtitles can help you understand unfamiliar words and phrases, and you can pause and rewind to practice pronunciation. By following the characters' conversations, you'll improve your listening comprehension and learn how to use English in different situations. Plus, you'll get to enjoy a thrilling show with exciting supernatural mysteries!
