Luke's ENGLISH Podcast - Learn British English with Luke Thompson

Almost exactly one year ago, Ben Fisher was on the podcast telling us about his cycling trip from London to Paris. Now he's back to tell us about his latest cycling adventure. Last time he cycled a total of 484.7km. This time he more than doubled that distance cycling 1223.42km from the north coast of France all the way down to the south coast. It was a much longer and more difficult trip and he's here on the podcast to tell us all about it!

In this episode I was planning to give you my 'brief History of the World Cup' but I abandoned that idea because I decided it was too boring! Instead I've decided to just play you a recorded conversation I had with my Dad about his experience at the 1966 World Cup in London. I hope you find it interesting. https://teacherluke.co.uk/2014/06/23/190-world-cup-2014-part-4-some-history/  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
