A Brit Difficult - Episode 26 - conversation with an English learner #6

A Brit Difficult is a podcast for intermediate learners of English that focuses on British English. Too often, people think of British English speakers all being White and speaking like the Queen, but there is a rainbow of voices and accents in the UK. We'll explore vocabulary and grammar, talk about British culture, and hear interviews with native speakers and English learners from around the UK. Contact us with ideas, questions and feedback on Instagram at @abritdifficultpodcast. Intro music is 'Just Relax' by Lesfm via Pixabay. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
