#202 British Humour, Puns and Jokes

Michael Lavers
About this episode

Although my lessons on jokes have always been a bit awkward in the past, let's have a go at covering it in a podcast episode today. We'll be looking at 5 jokes; each has a word or expression we can learn from. You may not laugh at the jokes, but I hope you have fun anyway.
