Euphemisms are a very useful part of English to learn. They can help to be diplomatic and caring when speaking about difficult or taboo situations, and on the other side they can help you to joke about serious situations in a very British way.

Shereen from An English Nerd joins me in this podcast episode for English learners to explore some of these euphemisms and how to use them.

Rod the English Teacher joins me all the way from Brazil to talk about a passion which became his reason to learn English: The American singer and 'Queen of Pop', Madonna.

I hope that Rod can be an inspiration for English learners to improve their English through finding sources which they love.
