Welcome back.
This is episode 153 and today we're going to talk about shopping for clothes.
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.
Interesting.
Let's do it.
Every now and then, many of us have the urge to go shopping.
Some of us like shopping online for new clothes and products.
Others like to shop in brick and mortar stores.
Brick and mortar is another way to say physical locations, places where you can walk inside and be seen by a sales clerk and other shoppers.
Needless to say, all of us love getting good deals.
We're all fans of a good sale, that is for sure.
In episode number 86, we talked about the english expression in the red and the history of Black Friday, which is one of the biggest annual shopping times of the year in the United States.
In today's episode, I want to talk about shopping for clothing.
My goal is to introduce you to all of the terminology you need to talk about this topic in English.
You'll hear phrasal, verbs, collocations, and a lot of expressions we use when talking about clothing.
As usual, with five minute english episodes, the audio will be more challenging than typical episodes.
