"The Gaokao“-National College Entrance Examination

Enjoy the nineteenth episode of Culture To Grow, which allows you to travel the world from the comfort of your home, your car, or if you are still half asleep in your bed.

In this episode, we will be doing something slightly different. Since going forward, the first Monday of every month, we will embark on a thrilling journey that will immerse us in the sights, sounds, and stories of a different country each time. 

In this series, we won't just be tourists, we'll be explorers. We'll connect with a local to learn about the country, its culture, and dispel some of those stereotypes that we may all have. 

But enough from me. It's time to meet someone who knows this destination better than anyone I know. Our guest today is Fatima, she will be our guide as we travel to Iran. 

Let's go!

Bank Robbers Chapter 13

Bare Naked Ladies are a Toronto, Canada rock group popular in the late 1990s and the early part of the new century.  In episode 1, I commented that food, blue, and blew all had the same vowel sound.  Indeed, bare (meaning naked or basic) and bear (the animal) are pronounced the same. In this episode, I am going to guide you through (not throw) the E ear and A air sounds.
Here are the lists of the words in this lesson.  Notice that the spelling of the vowel sound is not consistent.
                                                 Sound 1                                             Sound 2
                                                      ear                                                      air
                                                      beer                                                    bear / bare

                                                      hear                                                     hair
