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

This episode is all about men & women. Are they different? Do they communicate differently? It is inspired by a book called “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”, which is a very popular and successful guide to help men and women understand each other. I talk to 2 male friends, and then 2 female friends. There is lots of useful natural English for you to study, remember and copy – and become a more advanced speaker of English! I hope you enjoy the podcast…Click here for transcripts & vocabulary notes for this episode https://teacherluke.co.uk/2009/10/19/episode-9-men-vs-women/ Image by Pixel2013 on Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/man-woman-composing-dispute-2933991/ Hosted on Acast.
