Helen's 100 ESL Jokes

You can read the same jokes in two different versions:

Basic version
The jokes are in simple language, with easy vocabulary and some notes.

Colloquial version
The jokes are in colloquial language, that is, people who speak English from birth would tell the jokes like this between themselves. Notes are provided to explain more difficult words.

Use these jokes to improve your English. They are written in correct British English with no crude words but are more suitable for adults than children. Many of them are not "politically correct" - nor is the real world!

I hope you enjoy yourself while you learn!
