Hi everybody, I am Georgiana, your English teacher and founder of speakenglishpodcast.com.

My mission is to help you to speak English fluently.

Today we will talk about humor in English.

There are many different ways that a person can be funny,

and I will give you some examples of different types of humor in English.

And with a mini-story, you will improve your fluency.

I will tell you a story while asking many questions that you will need to answer as quickly as possible.

It's like having a conversation with another person in English.

Okay, let's start.

First, let's talk about what we call a funny person, or at least someone who tries to be funny.

Number one. a goofy person.

For example, we have the typical goofy person or goofball

who does silly things, including funny dances,

and dressing up in ridiculous costumes.

Sometimes they make funny mistakes, although those are usually on purpose. Clowns are usually

considered goofy. Number two. A prankster. A prankster is someone who plays practical jokes on people.

Practical jokes are tricks that confuse or frighten others for a short period. I personally don't enjoy pulling pranks, let alone being pranked.

However, many people have a great time watching videos on the internet containing these practical

jokes.

Number three.

A self-deprecating person.
