What the heck does “Culips” mean?

“Culips” is not an English word that you can find in the dictionary! We created the name Culips from Culture and Language. CUL for culture and LIPS for language (we use our lips to talk). And so every Culips episode has interesting elements of culture as well as language; they are inseparable!

We are here to help everyone learn more natural English with our ESL podcasts! We podcast from Montreal, Canada. We think it is really important, and fun, to learn English how it is really spoken.

In addition to the podcasts, we have some great resources, called “Lipservice,” for each episode. This includes transcripts, detailed explanations and even quizzes to test your comprehension. You can also send your questions to us at questions@culips.com and we will answer them for sure. We may even use them in one of our episodes!
