    873. Luke takes the MBTI Personality Test

    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

    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.

I’m not 🥷, not skeleton. I’m 5ivesheep 🤭

I find the most precious aspect of your podcast to be the attitude towards language learning and the exploration of the world’s diversity. You inspire me to stay open-minded, positive, kind, and create connections with others. That’s what I’ve learned from listening to your podcast over the past five years. I also appreciate your introduction to David Crystal. I’ve read several of his books and enjoyed them. I wish I could also purchase your father’s book. It sounds very interesting. I particularly enjoy your rambling episodes. They show me the importance of continuous exposure to diverse content over time.
