#25 It’s a strange world: Stockholm Syndrome

Imagine this: You’re at the bank and suddenly a bunch of masked robbers come in and take you hostage (=keep you as a security while threatening to kill you). These are bad guys and you would hope for the police to come quickly and free you, right?

❗️ The reality is more complicated. In some situations people strangely develop positive feelings towards those who hurt or threaten them. Why on Earth does that happen? Read and watch! 👇

#94 Our favourite mistakes: Pronunciation

▶️ Try pronouncing the following words:
aubergine
• August
• aunt
• Australia
• Austria
• automatic

What do these words have in common?

❗️ Easy, they all start with “au”! But does that mean they are pronounced [aʊ]? Unfortunately not:
• Long o [ɔ:] – August, automatic
• Short o [ɒ] – Australia, Austria
• Long a [a:] – aunt
• Diphthong [əʊ] – aubergine

#60 Travelogue UK: Fun Compilation

#1 Happy hens
A great case of added valuefree-range eggs are healthy, and who would disagree? ☺️

#2 Piggy pigeons
Vandalism can also be funny. Pigeons are an absolute nuisance in many cities but some people still feed them. But pigs are even worse of course! 🥴

#3 Special spray
You’re a very important person (“V.I.P.”) and don’t want to leave any smell behind as you finish your business? Use the V.I.Poo toilet spray! 😏

#4 Rude restaurant
Sometimes we can discover familiar words in strange-looking Vietnamese! 😎

#5 Peeved pedestrian
Someone was seriously upset by a pedestrian-unfriendly traffic light and decided to complain. 😡

#6 Naughty newspaper
Boris Johnson is once again criticised for breaking promises. That’s political satire. 😖

#7 Poor pizza
Ouch! How did that pizza land upside-down on the pavement? If it amuses you then at least it wasn’t a total waste! 🤪
