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.
Welcome back.
I am curious.
Have you ever heard a story about a magician making a rabbit disappear?
Have you ever seen it?
Maybe you've read a novel, perhaps a mystery, where a character disappears and nobody knows what happened to them?
These scenarios perfectly illustrate our expression of the day, which is to vanish into thin air.
To vanish into thin air conjures images of something or someone disappearing suddenly and completely, almost like magic.
But where did this phrase come from, and why do we use it to describe such mysterious disappearances?
Join me today as we explore the origins, usage, and intriguing examples of how to use this idiom in real life contexts.
Hope you guys can hear.
Well, I'm using a different microphone today because my mic broke on the way back from Brazil.
So, yeah, we'll have to see.
Anyway, be sure to stay tuned for next week's episode, which is about the world famous, famous magician Harry Houdini.
Ive been wanting to tell his story and talk about his magic for a long time now.
