Fancy A Cuppa? - British English and UK Culture

In today's episode, Emma and Elisa are chatting about the cinema! It's May 4th - Star Wars Day - and Emma touches on how the Star Wars films, whilst not British, have impacted her day to day life and Elisa talks about how she loves to visit the cinema every week. They discuss film genres, interactive experiences and films that have made them cry. What's your favourite film or genre?

In this episode, Emma and Elisa talk about friendships. What is a friend? Should all friendships be the same? How easy is it to make friends as an adult (and how to do it in the UK)? All these questions and more will be answered all while eating some 'nice' biscuits.

What do you think? Is it easy to make friends where you live? What does the word friend translate to in your language? Does it have the same meaning?
