Summary

Sarah Donnelly comes back onto LEP to catch up and to tell us about her stand-up special, now available to watch on YouTube, and to do a British English vs American English pronunciation quiz.

Sarah’s show is called The Only American in Paris and we discuss some of the themes of the show - the real experience of being a US citizen living in Paris, the Netflix show Emily in Paris, cultural differences, learning French, plus a pronunciation quiz to help you compare UK and US English.

We absolutely love that Kinder values little moments of play knowing they mean so much for kids and their development. Put simply, a Kinder Surprise is such a fun little moment for the kids.
0:18.1	It really is. It's more than just chocolate. It's a treat. It's a
0:21.4	discovery and a great opportunity for play. And with the Play-Doo app co-developed with Oxford's
0:27.0	Department of Education, the fun continues as toys come to life with digital play. I love that my kids

1:43.3	planet, then maybe, yeah, learning English could still be show as well. If you're an alien on a different planet,
1:48.6	then maybe, yeah, learning English could still be a good idea. If you're planning to visit Earth and you want to contact the humans, probably be a good idea to be able to speak English
1:56.2	as the international language of Earth. But anyway, never mind that stuff about aliens. In this
2:03.5	episode, you're going to listen to a conversation. It's another conversation episode. And this one
