874. Walk & Talk: PARIS
Here is an episode in which I walk through the streets of Paris, rambling about a particular subject. This time the subject is Paris itself. This summer Paris is hosting the Olympic Games. The city will be filled with visitors. I am very curious to see how the city will handle this moment. Will it be a huge success? What will visitors think of the city? Will anyone suffer from the mysterious "Paris Syndrome"? Join me on my walk, follow my words, look out for vocab and consider using my questions for your own speaking practice.

873. Luke takes the MBTI Personality Test
The MBTI Personality Test (aka "16 Personalities") is a very well-known and widely used test which claims to be able to give you a "freakishly accurate" analysis of your personality type. In this episode I take the test, explain the reasons for my answers, explain some vocabulary and give my thoughts on the test results and the test itself. Includes plenty of expressions for describing personality traits, behaviour, ways of thinking and feeling and the subject of psychological testing.

869. Working at UNESCO 🏛️ English in International Diplomacy
In international diplomacy, "communication is everything". This is the main point of this conversation, in which I talk to my friend who works for the UK delegation at UNESCO in Paris. We discuss the work that UNESCO does, and the various communication challenges involved in working together with representatives from countries all around the world, including the collaborative writing of official documents where the use of a single comma can be debated for hours, and the meetings and conversations in which cultural sensitivity and good-will are essential elements for success.
Also includes some communication idioms and guitar playing near the end of the episode.

A precise british english teaching
An english teacher chatting with guests or talking to himself and sometimes with grammar lessons. Each episode is very interesting and entertaining. You will experience an improvement in your level of English in each session. Thank you for your dedication in each episode.

Hi there!
I just wanted to congratulate you for such a masterpiece of English podcast.
I haven’t heard all the episodes, at all... but as a former “expat” living back in Spain now, 😏 I miss the all-day-talking English of my former job. I find here a good way to keep my level up. Thank you, Luke.
PD: I voted in last year’s British podcast of the year ( or whatever contest name had) for your LEP.
Outstanding!!!
Grateful listener from Spain
Definitely this is the go-to podcast once you’ve reached C-ish level. It’s funny, varied and educative.
I miss a better documented script, especially with the words, collocation and phrasal verbs he explains in the episode.
Thanks for your valuable work, Luke!
