Luke's English podcast is made possible thanks to support from my listeners in the form of donations

and from my sponsors whose services I recommend to you at the beginning of episodes.

My main sponsor is I-talkie and if you're looking for a one-to-one teacher or a conversation partner,

you can find one easily using I Talkie. They have teachers and native speakers from the UK

who can help you with speaking skills, grammar, pronunciation, exam or

interview preparation. The choice is yours. It's very convenient because you can

have lessons at home, you talk to your teacher like it's a Skype call, and let's face it, this is the new way

to connect with people and get regular speaking practice into your life.

I Talker, you're offering my listeners a free lesson to get that offer go to

teacherluke.co.uk.uk. Or click an I Talkie logo on my website. So here's a new episode. Hello, I was away for a little

while, although I've been adding some bits and pieces into the LEP app over the

last week or so, mainly filling it up with the archive of

Phrasal Verb episodes.

So app users, you might have noticed bits and pieces arriving in the app there, but I've been away for a while and I'm back now and here

is a new full episode of the podcast. This one begins with a poem and some rambling and then a question from a listener which is about

pronunciation and that leads to the main content the meat of the episode which is all

about when native speakers disagree about the pronunciation of certain words in English

and they get very irritated with each other.

What are those words that cause such frustration?

Well, listen on to find out out there's a song in the

middle of the episode too and a comedy sketch at the end all explained and

clarified by me you're welcome so now let's get started properly and here is the jingle.
