910. FUNNY ENGLISH SIGNS 🪧 Explained (Part 1)

Let's look at some funny examples of badly-worded signs from around the world (including UK & USA) which show the ambiguity and unintended consequences of unclear English. I analyse lots of signs, explaining the errors and offering improved versions, using them as teaching moments to illustrate grammatical and vocabulary points. The episode also features vocabulary explanations and corrections for the poorly written signs. 📄 Get the PDF with notes and detailed vocabulary list 👉 https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/910.-FUNNY-ENGLISH-SIGNS-Explained-Part-1-Lukes-English-Podcast-teacherluke.co_.uk_.pdf 🔗 Episode page on my website 👉 https://teacherluke.co.uk/2024/11/26/910-funny-english-signs-explained-part-1/ 🇻🇳 LEP Meetup in Vietnam, details 👇 Friday Nov 29th 7-10pm local time.
