Shereen from An English Nerd is my guest on this podcast.

The theme this week is going to the hairdressers. I present you with some super useful practical vocabulary you can use next time you get your hair cut in an English speaking country.

There is also a grammar song from the amazing Grammar Rocks!!! It's about prepositions of time and place.

Thanks to the fabulous Maria Duque for singing some of my jingles.
