Episode notes

I've spent a lot of time trying to learn this bloody language. And yeah, and I still go through those, throw those those waves. The minute I sort of turn on a French film or a French television programme, I mean a terrible pickle. But if you're but as soon as you actually start to engage with it properly, you realize how difficult it is. So the only thing I would say to anyone to learn a language is don't despair at that look,. Look back at where you've come from and go, Oh, no, I can do all of this now.

Special Guest Mark Steel joins me to discuss cultural and linguistic differences between the UK and France, plus accents in the UK and a little tour of some places in the UK that you don't know about. Also includes a discussion of swearing and rude language in Britain. What is the R word which you should never say in a specific part of the UK? Listen on to find out.
