Euphemisms are a very useful part of English to learn. They can help to be diplomatic and caring when speaking about difficult or taboo situations, and on the other side they can help you to joke about serious situations in a very British way.
 
Shereen from An English Nerd joins me in this podcast episode for English learners to explore some of these euphemisms and how to use them.
