Luke's ENGLISH Podcast - Learn British English with Luke Thompson

Emma from MmmEnglish and Hey Lady! [961]

[961] Emma Jakobi is the host of MmmEnglish on YouTube, and now the online community Hey Lady! In this episode Emma joins me for a chat about living on the remote Western coast of Australia, "blowing up" on YouTube, her decision to step away from MmmEnglish to focus on Hey Lady! Also, her thoughts on the rise of AI, and some fun facts about singing in the shower, her vintage Lexus car and her phobias of public speaking (surprising) and leeches (understandable).

Fine Distinctions & Subtle Shades of Meaning 📖 (with Eli Burnstein) [960]

A particularly useful and interesting episode for you today - a conversation about English words which are very similar, but crucially, not the same. My guest Eli Burnstein is the author of “Dictionary of Fine Distinctions” - a book which aims to bring clarity to English words. Expect a funny discussion about subtle shades of meaning between words like poison & venom, accuracy & precision, envy & jealousy and many others. Eli is Canadian, now living in London and so he also shares some key features of Canadian English.  📄 Get the PDF transcript https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Fine-Distinctions-Subtle-Shades-of-Meaning-with-Eli-Burnstein-960.pdf [https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Fine-Distinctions-Subtle-Shades-of-Meaning-with-Eli-Burnstein-960.pdf] 🔗 Episode page on my website https://teacherluke.co.uk/2025/11/03/fine-distinctions-subtle-shades-of-meaning-with-eli-burnstein-960/ [https://teacherluke.co.uk/2025/11/03/fine-distinctions-subtle-shades-of-meaning-with-eli-burnstein-960/] 🏆 LEP Premium https://www.teacherluke.co.uk/premium [https://www.teacherluke.co.uk/premium] 📗 Get the book in the UK https://www.waterstones.com/book/dictionary-of-fine-distinctions/eli-burnstein/9781805227229 [https://www.waterstones.com/book/dictionary-of-fine-distinctions/eli-burnstein/9781805227229] 📘 Buy the book from Profile Books https://profilebooks.com/work/dictionary-of-fine-distinctions/ [https://profilebooks.com/work/dictionary-of-fine-distinctions/] 📙 Also available on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dictionary-Fine-Distinctions-Nuances-Niceties/dp/180522722X/ [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dictionary-Fine-Distinctions-Nuances-Niceties/dp/180522722X/] 🧔‍♂️ https://www.eliburnstein.com/ [https://www.eliburnstein.com/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
