GLOSSARY
This is the first part in our new section called “Story Time”. In this section you will be able to hear two native English speakers telling each other jokes, stories or anecdotes. These authentic conversations will help you with your listening skills, and give you lots of interesting expressions to use yourself - plus, you’ll enjoy hearing the joke or story. Please remember, these are authentic conversations, and the speakers do a lot of things that make it difficult to understand, such as hesitating, interrupting and mumbling. This is all part of natural conversation. The trick is to listen for the key words (the most important words in the conversation - usually the nouns). Don’t try to understand every word - this is too difficult because not all the words are pronounced clearly, and most of the time the speakers are trying desperately to communicate a messages and understand what the other person has said.
