This episode is a bit complicated!
How can i brush up on my listening skill by that video
I can't understand the words before the days but now I'm getting the facts what you're speaking slowly.ð
ÂŦThe receipt of your communication is hereby acknowledged with thanks.Âŧ has reminded me of Sir Humphrey's, in "Yes [Prime] Minister", though his Jargonish was an art of rhetorical twisting.
Excuse me, with no comments the clip is ofno use…. I need to see visually how the new words are spelt.
Why did pick a hizabis picture in this video? Was that necessary? Of course you're BBC
Catherine's voice is really charming
Nice to know what is jargon.
Thanks !
I love âĪïļ watching your videos
Who's picture is used as a thumbnail in this video??
