Listen "E is for . . . Eurovision 2023"
Episode Synopsis
English at Leeds Trinity is who we are, but we are always interested in other languages beside English. In this episode Richard, Yvonne, Eloise and Maia celebrate the multilingualism of the Eurovision song contest, with a particular focus on two other languages beginning with E. We hear from Maia about her first language, Eesti Keel (Estonian); and from Yvonne about hers, Español (Spanish). We also revisit the literary question that got so much attention at Eurovision 2023: ‘Who the hell is Edgar?’ The answer was Edgar Allen Poe, the American author – and we find time to read his poem ‘Eldorado’. Note: we recorded this episode not long after Eurovision 2023. We will be following it up with another episode as soon as we can after Eurovision 2024. Hosted on Acast.
