Hi everybody.
My name is Shauna 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.
It's sunny and somewhat cold here in Asheville, North Carolina.
I've got warm socks on, pajama pants.
I'm ready to start today's lesson which is all about the expression what goes around comes around.
For the cultural topic of this lesson, which will be posted next week, we'll be talking about the origin of the Ferris wheel, which you might know as the giant wheel you can ride at amusement parks.
In English.
We call it a Ferris wheel because of George Ferris, the man from Illinois who invented it.
Now stay tuned for that episode once again that will be posted next week.
Before we begin the lesson, I just want to say thank you to everyone who wrote to me regarding Hurricane Helene.
I mentioned in last week's episode that it swept through my area of Asheville late September and that we were staying at my parents house.
We are safe.
We're back in Asheville.
It's a long, complex story of what happened during that hurricane.
I plan on talking about it in a future episode.
