As we all anticipate the fifth episode of this ridiculously eventful seventh series, can we place Game of Thrones in the list of useful TV programs for learning British English?
Firstly, the series only contains accents from England and other non-native accents like Dutch, southern Europe, and the middle east. It completely lacks American influence. Opinions?
Secondly, the language used tends to follow the British way of speaking. It is very reflective of common speaking and more formal conversation, however, it tends to mix the modern with the medieval at times. Thoughts?
Did you know, that the phrase 'cool as a cucumber' is a scientific fact? What is your favourite idiom?
Oh, by the way, the inside temperature of a cucumber can be up to 20 degrees Celsius colder than the outside air! So, as we enter the hottest part of the summer (for some places in the Northern Hemisphere), what are your best methods of keeping cool?
