Michael Lavers
About this episode

This is a fun episode where we look at some famous advertising slogans from different companies and analyse why they work so well, but also take from interesting English lessons from each one. 

We'll be learning things like alteration, oxymorons, and also some very smart wordplay that makes use of words that have multiple meanings.

I'll also be sharing lots of phrases and terms that are used when advertising or talking about a product or service.
