In this episode, I team up with Microsoft Copilot for an English-learning adventure full of laughs, useful phrases, and storytelling mayhem. 🧛♀️ We explore British slang, airport conversations, pub banter, and even host a zombie who wants to flirt using phrasal verbs. Yes, really.
Whether you're learning English or just love bizarre characters and spontaneous roleplay, this episode has something for you—from “Your shout!” to “wake up!”, we cover it all.
Spoiler alert: it starts in chaos... and ends in vocabulary gold. 😉
