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.
Hello, and welcome back.
Today we'll be talking about yard work.
First off, what's a yard?
Well, you can think about a yard when we're talking about measurement.
A yard is three feet.
Each foot is 12 inches.
But today, we are not talking about yards in terms of measurement.
We're talking about yards, as in an outdoor space, typically in front of or behind one's property.
So if you live in a house, you might have a front yard with a driveway where you might park your car,
a walkway where you walk, and in front of it, there might be a sidewalk with your mailbox.
Your you also might have a backyard behind your house.
Now, lots of people in my neighborhood have a deck in their backyard with a grill.
That might be where they host their barbecues, where people can sit down on lounge chairs and just relax.
