Finally, here is the third part of this series about English slang words and expressions that most British people know, but which will probably confuse almost everyone else!

Amber returns to the podcast to tell us some grisly stories about the history of Paris. Amber is a bit of an expert about Paris. She has read pretty much every book about the city and is also a registered tour guide here. A few years ago she set up a podcast called Paname Podcast (Paname is a nickname for Paris). Each episode contains a true story from history, with tales of battle, execution, romance, tragedy and adventure. You can get it where you get your podcasts. In this episode Amber comes onto LEP to share a few stories from her podcast series. Includes a 30-minute ramble at the end of the episode.👉 Listen to Amber's podcast https://plinkhq.com/i/1241927554?to=page👉 Page for this episode on my website https://wp.me/p4IuUx-sOg Hosted on Acast.

To give you some more details, Alastair Budge is the host of a podcast called "English Learning for Curious Minds" and he has created a new audio drama for English learners called "Pioneers of the Continuum".
