Charles Dickens wrote in A Christmas Carol that “There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.”
Lord Byron said of laughter: “Always laugh when you can, it is cheap medicine.”
Pablo Neruda shared that: "Laughter is the language of the soul."
And Maya Angelou declared: “I don't trust anyone who doesn't laugh.”
Let's start 2024 with a dose of laughter, or at least an English listening episode that invites us all to find more laughter in our lives.
Laughter can help you speak English better - really!
We’re going to explore the science of laughter (that is, what happens in our bodies when we laugh), as well as the physical and psychological benefits of laughing, and conclude with why laughter is important when learning English, or really any language. I laugh a lot as I make mistake after mistake in French and Italian.
