Tommy's Top Five: Stones, Spies, & Turkeys| Intermediate English Conversations.
In this intermediate English Conversation, Tamás "Tommy" Bradford joins me on Hear You Go podcast for part 1 of our two-part collaboration. We dive into his top English picks for books, films, and music that can help you explore and learn English independently. We chatted about everything from Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy to Benjamin Zephaniah’s poetry.
Tommy shares his insights on John le Carré’s spy novel and its film adaptation, perfect for advanced English learners intrigued by British espionage. We also explore the playful and accessible poetry of the late British-Jamaican poet Benjamin Zephaniah, whose collections Talking Turkeys and Funky Chickens offer humor and cultural awareness.
We touch on a wide range of art forms—from rock and roll to reggae-inspired poetry, giving you, the English language learner, a chance to practice your listening skills as Tommy offers up this top 5. Get ready for laughter, stories, and language-learning tips from the two of us.
