I think everyone should try and learn a language, because at the very least you understand that difficulty is for other people speaking your language. I don't really think there's any way with a language around the fact that you do have to just sit there and learn it. There are all sorts of daft sort of adverts, learn a language in three weeks or people go, I'll just listen to the radio and you'll pick it up. To be honest, it's like the whole package. You've got to listen and read a lot,. Also actually get into the nitty gritty of the language and do the mechanical and sort of memory level stuff.
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.
