An historic World Cup victory by the Spanish women's soccer team, in August this year, was overshadowed by Luis Rubiales, president of the Spanish Football Federation during the medal ceremony when he kissed striker Jenny Hermoso on the mouth.

Creativity: according to the Cambridge dictionary, it's the ability to produce or use original and unusual ideas. But how and when do you express your creativity? Do you consider yourself a creative person? Most of us would probably answer "yes". But when you're asked to take part in a brainstorming session, does your brain freeze or does your heart clench at the thought of coming up with new ideas out of the blue?

#16 Inflation in Argentina

Ze English Podcast by Ecsplicite ·

2023/05/17

Last week the governor of the bank of France told us not to fret – inflation would be back to a comfortable 2% by the end of the year. Yet over the last year inflation has reached heights not seen for 40 years in the UK, where it is currently somewhere between 10% & 11%, Here in France, official figures suggest only half that figure, but that’s for the birds and if you are like me, you are really "feeling the pinch".  Spare a thought therefore for Argentinians whose yearly inflation

This week marks just over 400 years since the death of probably our most famous playwright William Shakespeare. Curiously we know comparatively little about his life, but his legacy of poetry and plays mean that today he is still very much alive in the words and expressions we use everyday. And that’s precisely what we are going to hear about today in the company of April and Edward. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/zeeenglishpodcast/message

Blackouts, power cuts, energy restrictions: from September to November in France, we were told they were likely to happen and we should be prepared. There was a real possibility that we were going to come home in the dark to find the house with no lights, no heating, food melting in the freezer, no telephone, no C-news, no Netflix!
