Luke Thompson
About this episode

(Part 2 of 2) Let's continue where we stopped in the last episode, by going through the rest of my list of funny English signs ๐Ÿชง from around the world. These signs are badly-written and have unintentionally funny double meanings. I will read out the signs, then explain what is funny and offer corrections to make the signs clearer. I will also explain vocabulary in the process. PDF available.ย
