BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

In this English lesson, I’ll be sharing 20 jokes to help you test your English skills in a fun way. If you can understand why the jokes are funny and they make you laugh, it’s a great sign that your English level is quite advanced. Being able to get jokes in another language means you truly understand the language and the joke!

In this lesson, I’ll tell jokes about all kinds of things: computers, bicycles, graveyards, pants, homework, golf, the moon, grapes, numbers, pictures, facial hair, trees, scarecrows, and more! You’ll not only learn some funny jokes, but you’ll also pick up new English words and phrases along the way.

I hope you enjoy this English lesson filled with laughter and learning. Have a great day!

Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwktK8DEn84 or by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian Jokes"
