Learning English on the Radio

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ World Service celebrated 60 years of learning English on the radio

Despite changes to output ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ World Service celebrated 60 years of learning English on the radio. We interview Andrew Thompson from ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Learning English about axing short wave programming.

Plus, semantics matter. A Listener calls the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ up on pejorative terms they use for African conflict.
