Ep. 179 ENGLISH LESSON | BYE BYE MASKS AND I WAS TODAY YEARS OLD WHEN I LEARNED
🟨 Link to the original video lesson: https://youtu.be/UjNmbNNEASI
In this English lesson to help you improve your listening comprehension and confidence with speaking English, I talk about how many states in the United States are getting rid of their mask mandates. Starting on Monday, my state will no longer require its citizens to wear masks in public. But it can be a little confusing because some stores may choose to keep the rules for mask wearing.
To help you improve your English, I explain the two common English expressions "It dawned on me" and "I was today years old when I learned..." I also talk about some common American logos that have some hidden messages you may have never seen. I also try to explain the difference between memorial and monument.
