NOVEMBER COMPETITION!
We all know how difficult it can be to stay motivated when learning languages, so this month, English In A Teacup is holding a little competition for its listeners. The winners of the competition will get a personal shout out on the podcast and will also get to decide the next topic for Season 2 of my podcast coming out in December. 
To join, send me a message on italki and I will send you the form to fill in. 
In this week's episode of English In A Teacup, we will be continuing with the topic of inversions as well as learning how to write letters.  For students preparing for advanced-level exams (CAE, CPE, IELTS, etc.), it is important to know about inversion and how to use it in the writing sections. To help us with the subject is our fine English lady, Miss Finesstocrat, who will be writing her own letter to a travel agency to complain about her holiday from hell. How did she get on? Let’s put the kettle on and find out!

😷Beginning in December, we will no longer be required to wear masks. We will examine these policies and learn a variety of terms related to Taiwanese culture. By the way, I made a video podcast that you can watch on the platform. 

😷12月台湾有新的制度，终于不需要戴口罩了！我们今天就要来看看这些制度，可以学到许多台湾的文化有关系的词喔！另外我也做了影片播客，欢迎大家观看。

Welcome to The Age of Humans - an open door into the past and the future and far away lands, the door through which all of that spills into your everyday life while you’re having a cup of coffee, commuting, running, fishing or whatever crazy stuff you’re into. But who are we and what will you get from listening to us? We're a couple of friends interested in the culture of us, humans. Think anything from geography to technology, from history to futurism. We produce this podcast as an excuse to learn about Languages and Communication, and for you - the tool to do it. Follow us for new episodes and check out our social media accounts at ageofhumans.

The Age of Humans

Introducing The Age of Humans

Conocí a Ángel y hablamos a partir de hacerle muchas preguntas quizá inconexas. 
Entre algunas de las cosas que le pregunté, estuvieron...

¿En una escala del 0 al 10 qué tan divertido dirías que eres?
¿Cuál es la comida más exótica que has probado?
¿Qué es lo que no te gusta de México?

Esta conversación la grabamos el 16 de septiembre de 2022 😊

¿Conocen la palabra "sope" aplicada fuera del contexto de la comida?
¡Ángel la usó mientras nos contaba sobre su escuela! ¿Puedes adivinar su significado en el contexto que él usó esa palabra?

Meet the mexicans

This is the first short episode in the story where two people meet. See the transcript below to help aid your comprehension.

Welcome English learners! Today we’re going to begin a story that will last for several episodes. You can listen to the story episode by episode and grow your vocabulary and listening skills. Enjoy!

James looked over his shoulder. He saw something running toward him very fast. His heart started beating rapidly. He thought it was a person, but when he turned to face them, he realized that it wasn’t a person. It was a large black dog. The dog was getting closer and closer, but it wasn’t barking at him. In fact, the dog looked happy. Then he saw why the dog was running. There was a tennis ball bouncing and rolling toward him and the dog was chasing it.

James looked up and saw a woman about one hundred yards away from him. She was short and blonde. The dog grabbed the ball with his mouth and started running back toward her.

“Good boy!” she said.

“That’s a beautiful dog you have,” James said to her.

“Thanks! Actually, he’s not my dog. I’m just watching him for a friend this weekend.” she replied.

“Oh, I see,” said James. “Well, how did your friend get you to dog-sit for them?” James asked.

“That’s actually along story,” she answered with a smile.

James liked her smile and he had time to spare. He walked casually toward her and the dog. 

“I’ve got time. What’s the story?” James asked. “My name’s James, by the way.”

“Jennifer. Nice to meet you. Well, it actually started a few months ago when I was hanging out with my friend…” she said.

Well, that’s the end of the story for this episode. Tune in to the next episode to hear more about what happens with Jennifer and James. Be sure to write down any new vocabulary and listen again to improve your comprehension. See you next time!
