Luke's English Podcast - Learn British English With Luke Thompson

Please let me know if you feel like the personality profile in this episode relates to you in particular... Welcome to episode number 116 of Luke's English Podcast. This episode features an experiment into the linguistic tricks that are used in mind reading and fortune telling. I must say at the beginning that I do not really believe that psychic powers exist. I think mind reading looks like a magic power but actually it is just a trick. This episode and the next one, are about this subject. There is a full tapescript for this episode available here http://teacherluke.wordpress.com/2012/10/10/116-could-it-be-you/  #mindreading #psychics #derrenbrown #barnum #statements #english Sign up to LEP Premium on Acast+ https://plus.acast.com/s/teacherluke.

What does this expression mean? Well, according to the Macmillan dictionary it means "to have a conversation with someone in which you exchange opinions on a range of subjects, especially opinions on how to solve society's problems". That's exactly what I did in this episode. Listen and you'll hear me engaging in conversation with a colleague of mine named Eamon. We went to the pub for a quick pint and ended up setting the world to rights. Eamon is a very intelligent and interesting guy and I'm sure you'll enjoy listening in on our conversation. I've decided it will help you immensely if you can read some of the phrases we use in this episode, and so I've written many of those things in a list below. You can use it to learn more vocabulary, understand the episode better, and generally become a more wonderful human being in the process. You're welcome!

Refresh your vocabulary from the first eleven episodes of Luke's English Podcast. Everyone knows it's vital to review vocabulary you have learned. If you don't review it then you're likely to forget it! So, in this episode I will help you to remember some of the expressions I taught you in the early days of Luke's English Podcast. Of course, we will be doing this in a natrual way by demonstrating the way these expressions can be used in an authentic and unscripted conversation. All you have to do is notice the expressions, remember them and then try and pick them up yourself.
