[[WMG:New Dynamic English]]
[[http://1234works.blogspot.com/2012/02/new-dynamic-english-similar-weird-love.html Screw sense I love this!]]



* AdaptationExpansion: We get to know '''way''' more about the characters' background from the original software.
* AdaptationInducedPlothole: In the software, Max says that he has lived in SanFrancisco "all his life", while in the radio show, he says that he was born in {{Portland}}, and then moved to San Francisco when he's in college.
* AliceAndBob: Max and Kathy are the two main characters of the education franchise.
* AmicableExes: Kathy says that she cares about her ex-husband, but she doesn't love him anymore. Not only that, she also says that they might be [[BetterAsFriends just friends]].
* AudioAdaptation: The educational course, which is part of a software, is adapted into a radio show along with Functioning in Business.
* BenevolentAlienInvasion: In Module 1 Unit 1, Max and Kathy encounters an alien. The alien, named Zork, said that he's from another world and also speaks English. It is not known whether his intentions are good or bad, but the lack of any negative activity suggests he is leaning towards the good side.
* CanonForeigner: While some if not all of the characters of New Dynamic English from Module 1-4 appeared as guests for the radio show, there are new characters being interviewed.
* ClosetGeek: Sure, Max is a businessman working for a computer company, but in the radio show, Max tries to hide (and fails to) his interest towards computer games, especially ''Computer Soldier'', a game for a demographic as old as his son John.
--> '''Larry''': "Actually, I was thinking I might give some of these computer games a try. ''Computer Soldier'' looks like a fun game."
--> '''Max''': "That's a great game!! I play… I mean, my son plays it all the time."
* CollegeRadio: Max says that he had worked at a college radio station before, and because he liked the job and he was pretty good at it, he changed jobs from a businessman to a radio host.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: Max, though before he had brown hair and lighter skin.
* DeathByAdaptation: Possible explanation for Max's daughter's disappearance in the radio show.
* EverythingsBetterWithBob: Robert Harris, who prefers to be called "Bob".
* InformedFlaw: Max claims that he's bad at singing in Module 2 and he's also bad at dancing in the radio show, but he never sang or danced.
* LongLostRelative: Someone had claimed that he's Max's brother, despite that Max said he doesn't have one.
* MaxTrope: Maxwell "Max" Wilson.
* OfficeGolf: In Henry Thorton's presentation in Module 1 Unit 2, he is shown playing office golf when the narrator states that he doesn't work hard.
* OpeningNarration: In the radio show: "New Dynamic English is a basic English language course and an introduction to American people and culture."
* OtakuSurrogate: Kathy is implied to be a Trekkie with a cat named after a ''StarTrek'' character. Not only that, she believes in aliens and doesn't mind waiting in a long line for watching a Sci-Fi movie.
* PlotHole: Max worked as a businessman at a computer company in San Jose (Silicon Valley) when interviewed in the radio show, yet in Module 4's Matrix Vocabulary, he thinks flying first class is too expensive for him. Though he might just have been SlummingIt.
* {{Podcast}}
* RadioDrama: Its radio show looks more like a reality show but they're all made up. The Interludes are as close as it could be to a radio drama.
* RealMenEatMeat: Many men in the radio show are shown to love meat, including Max himself.
* StockForeignName: Pierre Dubois is one example.
* SuddenlyBlonde: Max turned from a brunet into a dirty blond.
* TalkShow: The AudioAdaptation counts as a fictional talk show, but it's not funny like a Spoof Talk Show.
* {{Trekkie}}: Did Kathy just said that she had a cat named "[[ShoutOut Spock]]"?
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Max loves steak, and has been called "Mr. Steak" once.
* WelcomeEpisode: Sort of. In the interlude after the first episode, Max gets greeted for joining Kathy and Larry to do the New Dynamic English radio show.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Max's daughter and Kathy's cat Spock from the software weren't mentioned at all in the radio show. In the radio show, Max says he has a son named John while Kathy says that she has some pet fish. One assumption is that Max's daughter died because in Module 4 of the software, it was mentioned that Max had ''children''.
** Max said that he will meet someone claiming as his brother, despite Max not having any. We will never know whether he's really Max's brother or not.
* WorkingThroughTheCold: During one episode, Kathy gets a cold, but it didn't affect the show whatsoever.
* WrenchWench: Karen, Max's wife, is a computer programmer who worked for the same company Max worked for.
