Thanks for Watching

Which country's capital has the fastest-growing population? Ireland. Every day it's Dublin.

[@laurapavone3513]

😂

[@fabrice9252]

Every day, it seems like too much ! Let's say each year ! ;-)

[@vivianayacar3041]

Anna you're great at explaining things 😊

[@madalenagomeslena7722]

You remind me of the actress from the series. Lady Mary Crawley. I love her. Downton Abbey

[@pedrosmith4529]

That was an Alien Romulus joke 😁

[@Cindercrown]

Fun story, albeit a bit off-topic. I learned the word “rapport” from the video game Dark Souls. In the game, “rapport” is a spell to temporary draw an enemy to your side, meaning they or it becomes your ally. So you're forming a connection with them and now they now wanna fight for you, not against you. Video games are such good teachers at times :)

Hello Anna, that was a wonderful & amusing new video, it learnt me some new jokes & I enjoyed your use of tv comedy clips. :)

[@laurapavone3513]

The Knock knock jokes were my favourite 🤩

[@EnglishLikeANative]

Have you heard knock knock jokes before? Do you have an Italian version of knock knock jokes?

[@laurapavone3513]

​@@EnglishLikeANativeI' d already come across this 'genre' before watching your video, I heard these jokes mainly In movies or series. They are kind of childish and this 'pureness' is what I like the most. I don't think in Italian there are jokes starting with: Toc toc (knock knock)🚪 🤡

[@РуновАЮ]

Hello. Anna🌺, very grateful! Good luck 🎉

[@fabrice9252]

'My wife had her credit card stolen' - Really? In what world we live in! This is terrible! 'Well, not that much basically, according to the bank, it seems the thief is spending less' ...

[@Guide2English]

Great episode by great teacher

[@EnglishLikeANative]

Awww ☺️ thank you 🙏

[@carotheplaylistmaker]

Hi, yes, great video 👌 Have you noticed that each time someone asks you "Tell me a good joke you know ", you can’t think of any !? 😂 Sorry, Anna. I didn’t know the knock-knock jokes, I liked the "Lettuce Who? Let us in" one 😉 And my husband tells too many Dad jokes in my opinion, I didn’t know this phrase but there you go, we're parents, so fair enough 😂

[@rawngbawlahlondo1627]

A witty joke can sometimes be fun after several hours..

[@arpineghr86]

Nice video!!!

[@dongmingling4052]

Just a compliment,you are cute

[@fabrice9252]

Knock knock. - Who's there? 'A miss'. -A miss who... 'A miss you too!' Knock knock. - Who's there? 'Doris.' - Doris who? ... 'Doris Locked, open that bloody door!'

[@diyasusan308]

Hi Ma'am, what's the meaning of "i have been gone with covid". Please reply

[@priyanthalamuthu7401]

I love this and I find videos like these so helpful! I'm a non native speaker with decent English proficiency. I did get an 8 in my IELTS but still struggle sometimes during the work meetings since they often involved a lot of jokes and I often am unable to understand local phrases/idioms that are more relaxed and informal.

[@fabrice9252]

A great witticism I like a lot and that you probably know. On day, Lady Astor, a political opponant to Winston Churchill was very upset with him and told him: 'Sir, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea !' To which Winston stoically replied: 'Madam, if you were my wife, I would gladly drink it !' 😂 Witty Winston!

[@ПаркАсистант]

Thanks a lot ,Anna! Love your podcasts and all the new things you share!❤❤❤

'My wife and I were happy for 20 years !' - Aww ...wonderful ! 'Yeah, but then we met ...'

[@EnglishLikeANative]

😂 😂 😂 that’s brilliant! Very funny

[@laurapavone3513]

[@fabrice9252]

'I entered 10 puns for Anna to see which would make her laugh' - Yeah ... And? ... 'Well that's all, no pun in ten did !'

All good, but 'subtlety is not unique to English language culture', all languages have their own.
