MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOOK

• The jokes were selected and written for their suitability for foreign learners, no puns, no jokes with unfamiliar cultural references.Many jokes use an unfortunate nationality, Irish, Polish, Belgian, as the butt of the jokes. This book avoids such stereotypes, preferring to use ‘headmasters’ as the funny guy. A grammar summary at the back of the book show teachers (and grammar freaks) where they can find good examples of, for example, the present perfect continuous, third conditional etc. Vocabulary used early in the book is often used again in a later joke. So the book has a sound pedagogical foundation although the reader will probably not be aware of the fact and will simply enjoy the jokes.The book has proved popular not only with foreigners learning English, but also with Anglophones learning other languages.A second book of jokes is available for publication. It was published in Norway and sold well. I also have a number of humorous short stories ready for publication. If the joke book is a success, then a collection of his stories could also be popular.

Hopefully you enjoyed the jokes. Learning a language doesn't have to be a boring, grammar-filled process. It can, and should be, fun. This language learning joke book will not be accepted as a textbook in a school but has proved to be popular in many countries with a wide range of people: schoolchildren, students, teachers and also adults who wish to practice their English in an amusing way.
