Working from home has gone from being rare to commonplace during the pandemic.

How to be polite is important to us British. The British, as a rule, go out of our way to maintain polite English conversation, even when we are complaining.

Today’s conversation in English is about listening to English, practising your listening comprehension and learning new English vocabulary. It’s also about understanding a little more about that amazing machine between your ears.

The result is an English conversation practice podcast that takes a thorough analysis into the many types of a single colour. I will leave you to listen to the podcast to find out which colour I talk about.
