Rockin' at the Supermarket 🏪 #235
Who knew that supermarkets were so RnR? 🤷♂️ The 10 items or less till, what if you've got 12? 🤔 A new till opens, what do you do? Run to it? Wait for the person in front of you? 🤔 These are some of the hard hitting questions we look at in today's episode, plus some talk about wearing no socks 🧦, buying the world's most unfashionable jeans 👖 and the chance to win a trip to the supermarket with Dan the Man 😅 Lots of RnR Vocab, so put your headphones on, get comfortable and just keeeeeeep on ROCKin', baby! 👊

Embarrassing Story + RnR Summer "School" 😅 #234
The RnR Summer "School" is here, but before I give you the details on that, I thought I would share a story with you from when I "worked" as an interpreter (as you can imagine... it didn't go well!). If you are interested in more details about the RnR English Summer School, go to www.rocknrollenglish.com/school - you won't find it on the menu on my website, as I don't know how to do that! 🤦♂️ But luckily, I do know how to teach English! So enjoy the story and I hope to see you at RnR Summer School, but in the meantime... just keeeeep on ROCKin', baby! 👊

So put some headphones on, enjoy the ride and just keeeeeep on ROCKin', baby! 👊
