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.
What comes to mind when you think about animals that live in the United States?
Maybe you think of bears.
You're right.
We have quite a few bears here, black bears, brown bears, and grizzly bears.
Grizzlies are those massive ones that you might remember Leonardo DiCaprio fighting in that famous Hollywood movie the Revenant.
Grizzlies are only in a handful of states.
Perhaps you think of bald eagles, which is not only our national animal, it's a symbol of the United States.
You'll see the bald eagle on our stamps, our money, our government buildings.
Or maybe american bison come to mind, which are also known as buffalo.
