This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK. This is our first contestant today, it's Joe Clark in Limington in Somerset. Welcome Joe. Thank you, good morning Ben. Hey good morning, nice to have you with us. You're an English tutor.

I am, yes. I thoroughly enjoy it. I go to young people's homes and I do some teaching with them to prepare them to go back to mainstream school. Ah, very good. Nice. Like a guiding hand, I guess. Yeah, I like to think so.

That was the opening. The rest of the episode (12 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
