Hello Hello. This episode is sponsored by Spoken, a new startup company run by a group of English teachers

who've worked out a way of delivering English courses directly into your pocket through

your smartphone.

With Spoken you can get business English lessons

through WhatsApp, We-Chat and other messaging services.

What happens is an English teacher from Spoken will send you tasks in the form of texts and videos and you respond with your keyboard or the microphone on your phone.

Then the teacher sends you feedback and other tasks which are adapted to your needs. Each lesson is short and you can respond whenever you want and it can really help you

to improve your practical English for your professional life in a really cool and convenient way.

And the guys at Spoken are offering you two free lessons and then 20% off all of their courses.

To find out more and to get that discount go to get spoken.com slash leep or click a spoken logo on my website.

podcast how are you doing today I hope everything is well out there in pod land

wherever you are and whatever you're doing as usual here's a new episode and

so last week I did a teacher talk at the British Council in Paris.

Teacher talks are when the British Council invites guests to an event involving a talk on a specific topic

and then there are drinks afterwards.

All the teachers are invited to talk at these events

and this time I thought that I'd have a go.

The topic was completely up to me

so I chose to talk about British humour because it's always something that I'm thinking about.

And I thought it might also be a way to promote English language comedy in Paris.
