Just a super quick rec.

A 20min radio broadcast on the challenges of English to non-native speakers (yes, that means you too US contingent) presented by Henning Wehn, a German comedian who's relatively well known here (and very funny : )

Thought you guys might find it interesting. I know now why I'm so damn confused all the time. I may move to Germany : ) xx

Just FYI, when I say I think something is interesting, I really mean it!! You'll understand when you listen to it later : ) Maybe I'll have to try a visit first : ) xx

You know what's interesting? I never heard of Henning Wehn before. I think he isn't well known here at all!

Okay, I have to admit, I barely understood him lol Sorry. So I just have to go with 'this was...interesting' :P

His accent is weird. I think he's lived in London a long time so it's kind of a mishmash, and yeah, not easy to understand in English either, ironically!! : ) xx
