874. Walk & Talk: PARIS

Here is an episode in which I walk through the streets of Paris, rambling about a particular subject. This time the subject is Paris itself. This summer Paris is hosting the Olympic Games. The city will be filled with visitors. I am very curious to see how the city will handle this moment. Will it be a huge success? What will visitors think of the city? Will anyone suffer from the mysterious "Paris Syndrome"? Join me on my walk, follow my words, look out for vocab and consider using my questions for your own speaking practice.

I regret not expressing my sincere condolences for the victims of the war. Question 11 was about Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin and question 12 was about the % of land in Ukraine occupied by Russian forces at the end of 2023 (20%).

850. Any Language You Want 📖 with Fabio Cerpelloni

Fabio has written a book about language learning, based on his own personal experiences of learning English. Each chapter ends with the same sentence: “This is how to learn a language”. But each chapter disagrees with the next. There are many ways to learn a language, and none of them is the only right way to do it. In this episode, we talk all about this and Fabio shares some of his stories. Fabio is the host of "Stolariod Stories" a self-development podcast which includes lots of lessons about learning English, and learning about life in general. 👉 Page for this episode on Luke's website 🔗 [https://teacherluke.co.uk/2023/11/01/850-any-language-you-want-with-fabio-cerpelloni/] (https://teacherluke.co.uk/2023/11/01/850-any-language-you-want-with-fabio-cerpelloni/) 👉 Get Fabio's book 📖 [https://fabiocerpelloni.com/any-language-you-want/] (https://fabiocerpelloni.com/any-language-you-want/) 👉 Listen to Fabio interview Luke about stand-up comedy on Stolaroid Stories here 🎤 [https://pod.link/1588409467/episode/5a1f614be55bdffa8513091565ef4985] (https://pod.link/1588409467/episode/5a1f614be55bdffa8513091565ef4985) Sign up to LEP Premium on Acast+ and add the premium episodes to a podcast app on your phone.
