If so, tune in to this lighthearted podcast from in-house Babbel linguists Sam and Ted, where you’ll listen in on a Brit and an American twisting each others' words, getting tongue-tied, trying to explain pretty much everything… and generally reflecting upon the strange beauty of that majestic, rather odd thing known as the English language!

Remember to mention "Sam and Ted's Famous Last Words" in the subject line.
