Are you looking for ways to continue working on English this summer?

Personally, I love podcasts and use them myself on my own language learning journey. You can choose the subjects that interest you most and expand your vocabulary. Podcasts are great because you can adjust the speed, read along and listen over and over again. To get started, you can try https://www.thisamericanlife.org/

There are also countless YouTube videos. A couple of my favorites are:

The hilarious Irish blokes at https://www.youtube.com/foilarmsandhog

Beautiful and hilarious with an annoyingly perfect accent in both French and English:

No sponsorship here. These are real personal favorites. Let me know what you think 😉

What good deeds have you done recently? Research shows that we live happier, more fulfilling lives when we're out there, helping others.

It turns out that by finding ways to make others' lives better, we live better too. If volunteering your time and energy feels too much, it can simply be about being kind and patient with people.

These acts go beyond generations, gender, religion and poltics.

Want to up your English game? Try a real American podcast, not just for English learners... such as This American Life: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/recommended

The great thing about podcasts is not only can you listen to them anywhere - while walking your dog, commuting to work by car or transport, prepping a meal, or just sitting quietly somewhere - you can also go back if you missed something, adjust the speed and (often) read the transcript.

Join us next time and tell us about your find!

Okay. It’s hundreds of episodes. Thousands of stories. Here are lists with some favorites.

Are you more likely to forgive and forget or to seek revenge?

Can you think of any vocabulary terms and expressions related to revenge and forgiveness?

For next week, you can read articles on the subject here https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20201109-what-other-cultures-can-teach-us-about-forgiveness and here https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200608-why-is-it-so-hard-to-forgive-an-ex

Join us next week for a lively discussion in a fun, friendly atmosphere! in Marseille

Break-ups are never easy, but why do some people fight to win an ex back while others run a mile? The temptation to rekindle an old flame is deeply rooted in our psychology.
