About this episode

In this podcast episode, I take you on a nostalgic trip through my British millennial childhood; from private school chaos and MSN romances to setting fire to a field (accidentally). We also explore teen stereotypes, music obsessions, and how social norms have changed in the UK.

This is real-time listening practice for improving your English and pronunciation. Shadow along, focus on rhythm, stress and intonation, and immerse yourself in natural storytelling from a native speaker.

Perfect for anyone learning English, working on their British accent, or just curious about life growing up in the UK.
