31 分钟Hi, everybody.
My name is Shawna, and this is the American English podcast.
My goal here is to teach you the English spoken in the United States through common expressions, pronunciation tips, and interesting cultural snippets or stories.
I hope to keep this fun, useful, and interesting.
Let's do it.
Hi, everyone.
I hope you're having a nice day wherever you are in the world.
I know that some of you have been listening to this podcast since episode number one.
And so you might remember my dad, Joe.
He was a guest on episode 44 to talk about driving in the US and in episode 43 when he talked about his experience living and working in Alaska.
He went to high school up there, so that was episode 43.
Now, after I posted those episodes, some of you sent me messages on how much you enjoyed listening to my dad.
Some of you said he seems like an easygoing guy.
Others said he's incredibly funny.
And I have to agree, chats with him usually lead to laughter.
So I dragged him back today, and the conversation you'll hear is lighthearted, funny, and it's full of English idioms.
That wasn't the goal for this episode.
It just happens to have a lot of idiomatic language because that's the way my dad speaks.
But what's great is that he speaks clearly, so I bet you'll understand a lot of the idioms he uses just from context.
The goal for this episode is to use superlatives in conversation.
