Russell Brand's Favorite Word & Why (teaser)

What is Russell Brand’s favorite word and why? But first, here’s a little story. As many of you know, I was an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher in Japan for 10 years. I also co-authored a book with Eric Roth, (a USC Master Lecturer and Professor,) entitled, “Compelling Conversations: Japan.” (Available for hard-copy or digital download on Amazon.) I also appeared on 3 TV shows in Japan. One show received THE number ONE, highest Ratings in its time-slot. I enjoyed teaching my students various colloquialisms, idioms and phrases. I would also do pronunciation exercises.

Growing up in London, England, my mum would take me, once a week, to “elocution” lessons. Since I have a fondness for words, as well as an affinity to Japanese students struggling with words that contain the letters, “R” or “L,” I would often over-exaggerate that particular word, and really have fun rolling the “Rs” or raising our tongue to our inner top teeth to pronounce words that began with “L.”

My intention of asking people what their favorite word is and why, is to both educate and entertain learners of the English language through my YouTube videos. Gotta make it fun. Not didactic. Yay!!

Please do check out Russell Brand’s book on being sober for over 18 years, entitled “Recovery: Freedom from our Addictions.” Brilliant words of wisdom contained in his book.
