Czy książe William jest gotowy, żeby zostać królem? Analizujemy!

Książę William coraz wyraźniej buduje wizerunek przyszłego monarchy, także przez język, którym zwraca się do świata. Jego głośne przemówienie w Brazylii stało się punktem wyjścia do dyskusji o stylu komunikacji, który bazuje na Standard Southern British. Na czym polega „urgent optimism” i czym angielski Williama różni się od języka Karola III oraz Elżbiety II? W nowym odcinku English Biz przyglądamy się słowom i zwrotom, które William używa jak rasowy start-upowiec, łącząc to jednocześnie z powagą swojego urzędu.
Zapraszamy do słuchania!
