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.
If you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you're probably aware that every year I get pretty excited about Halloween.
Most times.
There's also a Halloween special, an episode where I talk about the activities and festivities of this time of year.
It is October.
In episode 31, I talked about the history of Halloween, and I was there with my friend Liz, and we both shared our personal stories about Halloween experiences growing up in California.
There's also episode 82.
