#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 value – free-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! 🤪
