Lesley, in her weekly podcast, with irony, surprise, and a typical British sense of humor, will be amazed and will amaze us, recounting small vocabulary differences which create hilarious situations. Her wonderful voice, sexy, smooth and relaxing at the same time, tells us, with class, intelligence and that lightness that always tears a smile, diversities, curiosities and anecdotes between the British and the USA worlds; sometimes they are so strong to make even Sting, in his song An Englishman in New York, feeling a "legal alien".
