Hi everyone! In today's episode we'll be talking about THE FACES ON OUR MONEY. By money, I'm referring to the United States Dollar, which is commonly written as USD. The faces I'm referring to are the portraits of influential Americans you'll see if you look at the front of our bills and coins. According to the U.S. treasury, these portraits are "of deceased persons whose places in history the American people know well." Deceased is a fancy way of saying dead. So an individual needs to have died in order to appear on our currency. It goes without saying, it is an utmost honor to be chosen as one of these prominent figures and today is like to share with you what these makes each one deserving of such an honor.**Premium Content** (formerly called the Classroom) Get Season 2 Premium Content OR Get ALL PREMIUM CONTENT FOR SEASONS 1-3  (including transcripts + mp3s) Each episode is much more than just the audio.

Hi Everyone! In today's episode, Liz is back on the show! We have a very fun / funny episode for you which is about Portmanteaus. Don't be afraid of the word, I don't think most Americans know what a portmanteau is. What's important is we USE them ALL THE TIME! For example, instead of saying "I'm going out to grab some frozen yogurt," we might say "I'm going out to get some froyo." Froyo is a portmanteau; it's a blend of two words to make one word that has one meaning. Get ready to laugh and immerse yourself in American Culture! Enjoy :) To gain access to the full episode, transcript, podcast player, quizzes and more, be sure to sign up to Season 2.Premium Content (formerly called the Classroom) Season 2  - Premium Content for episodes 051 - 100 OR Get ALL PREMIUM CONTENT FOR SEASONS 1-3  (including transcripts + mp3s) Other ContentGet the Free E-Book: 101 American English Slang WordsConnect on InstagramGet updated when new episodes are posted via Instagram.Support the show Learn more about your ad choices.
