Today is the third class in our current four class set. We will begin with some quick numbers exercises.
The phrase of the week is, " inside joke." We use this phrase to describe a situation that is only funny to a select group of people who are on the inside. Your average person would not find this joke funny. For example, "Whenever my wife and I see a foreigner, we say, 'Oh, there's your friend.' That is our inside joke."
Today's reading is about the new movie Dunkirk and our listening material is about the sand shortage. Please listen and create examples for the vocabulary words.
