E17 "Oliver...I am your father": chatting to my dad - Improve your listening skills with British English conversations
Manage episode 441899371 series 3577242
After last week’s episode with my mum, I thought it was only fair to sit down with my dad as well! Unlike my mum, he didn’t take much convincing—probably because he thought that if she could do it, then he absolutely could too! 😆
Our relationship has always been full of debates and disagreements (as many father-son relationships are!), and I spent most of my teenage years arguing with him. But, in hindsight, I don’t regret a single one of those arguments, because they shaped the bond we share today.
In this episode, we discuss:
✔️ Our complex father-son relationship (and why we argued so much!)
✔️ My dad’s career in the fashion industry and what it was like building a company from scratch
✔️ How ageing changes your perspective on life
✔️ His biggest regrets and proudest moments
✔️ Life in Bristol then and now
Despite my dad frequently declaring that he’s "in decline", his humour and sharpness are very much intact—and this conversation was a reminder of the deep respect and connection we share.
If you enjoy family stories, reflections on life, and a bit of British humour, I think you’ll love this episode!
💡 What you’ll learn in this episode:
✔️ Real British English conversations in a Bristolian accent
✔️ New vocabulary related to family, ageing, and careers
✔️ How to understand fast, natural speech
