The main issue, as you've probably noticed, is that of question tags (in both versions). In the US version, one of the girls constantly mixes up idioms - this is difficult to understand if you don't know the idioms to begin with!
Either or both of these videos can be used with intermediate level upwards (even up to non-native teacher level) - you know your students, you judge. What I'd normally do is to play the video once. Hand out the script. Play the video again. Then, ask them to find and correct the mistakes. Check and explain. Later, discuss the making and correction of mistakes. Are they afraid/embarrassed to make mistakes? Do they feel people might laugh at them? Do they like being corrected by their teachers/peers? What are their most common errors? Why do they keep making them even though they realise it? Elicit methods from the class of 'tricks' they use to help them remember.
A quick explanation on question tags
We add these at the end of sentences to confirm what we are saying; it's like saying, 'Do you agree?' or 'Don't you think so?'. They're the equivalent of, for example, n'est-ce pas? in French and verdad? in Spanish.
The tag comprises of an auxiliary verb (or the verb 'be') and a pronoun:
We've met before, haven't we?
She's really gorgeous, isn't she?
Usually, a positive tag follows a negative sentence, and a negative tag follows a positive sentence:
You don't know where I can find a locksmith, do you?
You were supposed to be here at five o'clock, weren't you?
Notice that the tag agrees with the verb in the preceding sentence:
She won't do it, will she? (modal auxiliary 'will')
They were singing really well, weren't they? (past continuous with the past form of 'be' as a tag)
The verb 'have' sometimes causes confusion. As you may know, the British usually use 'have got' to talk about possession:
Janet's got a really stunning voice.
We can only use the verb 'have' as a tag in this case.
Janet's got a really stunning voice, hasn't she?
However, if we use 'have' as the main verb, both 'have' and 'do' are acceptable as tags:
Janet has a really stunning voice, hasn't she?
Janet has a really stunning voice, doesn't she?
Note the tag we usually use with 'I am':
I'm clever, ain't I? (non-standard)
