Foreign.
Hi, everybody.
My name is Shauna, 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 to this week's episode.
We're gonna do a lot today.
First, we're going to start with a joke.
Then we'll go through the expression, go big or go home.
And last but not least, we'll do a pronunciation exercise.
As you probably know by now, expression episodes have two parts.
In this first part, you're going to do all of the things I just mentioned.
And next week, you'll have access to part two, which is the cultural story or historical story of the United States.
In that episode, we're going to be discussing the Vanderbilts and the Biltmore Estate, which is actually located in Asheville, North Carolina, where I live.
So I'm very familiar with the estate itself.
My family has an annual membership to it.
Be sure to stay tuned for part two.
It'll be posted shortly.
