Tea Time

You Don't Say?!

About this episode:

On today’s listener requested episode we chat about the popular English tradition known as afternoon tea. Yes, afternoon tea is a type of tea but it’s also a meal with an interesting history. Grab your favourite drink (maybe a cup of tea), or take us with you when you go for a walk, and join us to improve your English by listening to natural conversation.

Some of the topics we discuss:

  • The two confusing meanings of tea in the North of England
  • What afternoon tea consists of and why you have to try it
  • What exactly is supper?...and much more

Thanks for listening to You Don't Say?! If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review in your podcast app or share it with a friend who is also trying to improve their English listening skills.

Our question for you:

If you could create an afternoon tea, what food would you include from your own country? You can leave us a voice message, make sure it’s less than one minute long, and we may feature it on a future episode.
