    886. Networking in English 🗣️ (with Rob from The Business English Podcast)

    886. Networking in English 🗣️ (with Rob from The Business English Podcast)

    In this episode I am joined by Rob from The Business English Podcast, and we are talking about networking in English. 🗣️ Networking is when you speak to other people, probably in a professional context, in order to build relationships, expand your social circle and make work contacts that can lead to business opportunities in the future.
    Networking is all about socialising, speaking spontaneously, active listening and being aware of cultural factors which can affect everything. Listen to the episode to hear plenty of comments, anecdotes, advice and language tips relating to networking in English in a professional context.

    882. 47 "Funny" Country Jokes, Explained 🌍 😂 Learn English with Humour

    Here's a list of jokes about different countries which I found on the website Bored Panda. I'll tell you the jokes and then explain them all (dissecting the frog), including any homophones, double meanings or specific cultural references. Can you "get" the jokes? Do you find any of them funny, or are they all just terrible dad jokes? And, what vocabulary can you learn in the process? Includes a vocabulary review at the end of the episode.

Thank you for doing it for so long!

Hey Luke, I’ve been one of your listeners for quite some years now and I think now’s the time to say thank you. I remember how I started listening to your podcast when I was preparing for moving abroad to study English literature and was looking for ways to improve my English. Years later, I stumbled upon your episode about Bob Dylan when I was doing research for my BA thesis. Now, I’m relistening to that episode to prepare for my thesis defense. I miss your podcast being part of my routine now but I’m really grateful that you keep doing the good work! Thank you!
