DO YOU SPEAK BREXIT?

LET'S SPEAK "BREXIT"

So sooner or later I had to include a post on this subject. Everybody is talking about it, newspaper FrontPages are filled with reletively new terms " brexiteers", "leavers", "hard brexit", "soft brexit"... Prime Minister Theresa May's interventions on Parliament are shown almost every day on TV and I was wondering if you really knew what they are talking about. Do you?

So, here you are a nice and concise explanation. Watch the video, pay attention to the 13 terms they use and post the answers to the questions below on the comment section. You can also check @loveyourenglish_ related feed on Instagram. Have a wonderful week!!
