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.
Hello.
Welcome back.
Hope you're having a nice day.
I sure am.
Leaves are sprouting on all of the trees in my neighborhood, so it's very green outside.
There are also flowers blooming in reds and whites and purples, and it feels just so nice to be outside.
We just bought a hammock that can go between two trees in our backyard, and I can't wait to go lay in it right after I record this episode.
Hope you are enjoying the time outside at this time of year.
I think it's nice everywhere.
Maybe.
Maybe it's fall in some places and spring here.
In any case, let's get to today's lesson.
This is going to be a two part lesson.
In part one, which is the episode you're currently listening to, I'll tell you a joke.
We'll do some pronunciation exercises, and we'll go through the very common expression to hit rock bottom.
