9 reviews for English Humour for Beginners

  1. Shubh Sharma

    A good starting point, but I felt some jokes were over-explained. Still, a helpful introduction to British wit. It had its moments. I chuckled a few times.

  2. Naman Kumar

    It was okay, but not as hilarious as I expected. A bit dry, even for a book about British humour. Some good information though.

  3. Ayush Rai

    As a non-native, this helped me understand some references. It’s well-written, but the humour sometimes felt… academic. I would recommend with reservation

  4. Umesh K Soni

    Found it insightful and funny. I particularly enjoyed the section on self-deprecation. A well-structured and engaging read.

  5. Muthe Sri Anirudh

    Brilliant! Captures the dry wit perfectly. A must-read for anyone trying to navigate British social situations. Absolutely hilarious!

  6. Sanchita Agarwal

    The writing is witty and engaging. I’m British and I even learned a thing or two! I really enjoyed it.

  7. Abhay Raj Singh Chauhan

    Spot on! Eric Hill really gets to the heart of what makes English humour so unique and bizarre. Highly recommended, laughed out loud!

  8. Shreya Sahu

    I already knew a lot of this, but it was still a fun refresher. Worth the price if you’re genuinely curious. Some good insights.

  9. Yash Raypa

    Entertaining read, though some examples were a bit dated. The author covers the topic well, but not all jokes landed for me. Still, I learned a lot.
