In this episode, my dad and I recall some of our favorite memories as sports fans.

If you’re a sports fan yourself, that’s great, but even if you’re not, I think you’ll benefit from listening to this one, as many English idioms and other vocabulary were born out of the world of sports.

Otherwise, listening to this episode should give you a sense of what being a sports fan in America is like, because it’s unique compared to sporting culture in most other countries.

***For English learners! – Detailed vocabulary lesson begins at 31:56***

La leyenda de la flor de Loto

A un lupo era rimasto un osso in gola e poichè stava soffocando chiese aiuto a una gru, promettendole una ricompensa. Il lupo, però, non terrà fede alla sua parola e la gru imparerà che non bisogna fidarsi dei disonesti.

Jag talar om viktförändring och mina tips kring viktnedgång och att få ett hälsosamt liv! Jag är ingen expert, men har blivit väldigt intresserad av att förändras och inspirerad av muskler och att förändra kroppskomposition, har lyssnat på mycket fitness-poddar och lärt mig mycket de senaste 3 månader. Jag vet inte riktigt vad mitt mål är än men vi får se i del två : )
