  • Episode 45 - The Wizard of Oz, Ingroups and Outgroups, and How Language Reveals What We Really Think
    2023/12/12
    Have you ever really thought about how some words you use to describe others are a bit ... rude? Have you ever noticed the words you use to describe groups of people you don't like? Have you ever noticed that the word for Germany in your language is different from the word Germans use? Have you ever seen the Wizard of Oz? And what's up with Chavs? In this episode I explore the world of exonyms and endonyms. We look at how language, and these language features in particular, reveals our nasty, tribal side. The side that makes us see ourselves us superior and our neighbours as inhuman. We see how words can be used to create enemies. And why "Paris" is pronounced oddly.

  • Episode 44 - The Quest for the Holy Grail of English Grammar | An Interview with Christopher Walker
    2023/01/01
    In this interview, I talk to Chris Walker, a long-serving teacher at International House and author of English is a Simple Language. Join us on our quest to “get to the bottom of it all,” examining and uncovering the underlying structures of English, following in the footsteps of Michael Lewis. During this engaging conversation, we ask: “Can we get to the heart of the meaning of modal verbs?” “Can we summarize conditional sentences in a single sentence (or maybe two)?” “Can we divide English grammar into either subjective or objective forms?” But I also ask whether there really is a “Holy Grail of English grammar.” Is there a system behind it all? Is there something that unlocks the way grammar works? Or is it more complicated than that? At the end, and for a bit of a laugh, we also have a look at some badly-written test questions and how they can help you and your students understand these deeper, underlying dynamics at work in the language.

  • Episode 43 - Some, Any, Metal Bands and Why You’re Not Talking To Someone’s Leg
    2022/12/03
    They lied! They all lied to you! Well, some of them did. What am I talking about? I’m talking about the people who told you that “We use ‘some’ for positive sentences and ‘any’ for negative and question sentences.” Sure. We do. But what about: “Would you like some tea?” and “It’s just some kid.”? Find out how “some” and “any” really work...
