Episode 12: Animals Symbolism - What Do Different Animals Represent

Join us on a special trip to the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town, where we'll explore the amazing underwater world. Discover colourful fish, funny penguins, and graceful rays as we learn about the ocean and why it's important to protect it. Get ready for an exciting adventure filled with incredible sea creatures and the beauty of nature.

"Welcome to our podcast, Playful English Proficiency!

I'm your host, Adalet, and today we're going on an amazing adventure to the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town, South Africa. Get ready to explore the underwater world and meet some incredible sea animals!

The aquarium is in Cape Town, where you can see a beautiful big mountain called Table Mountain. It's called the Two Oceans Aquarium because two oceans meet here near Cape Town: the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

Inside the aquarium, I saw lots of bright tropical fish, like clownfish and pretty pink anemones. They looked so beautiful!

I also saw some funny penguins. There were penguins from South Africa called African penguins, and they were really noisy! They walked around and made loud noises, like donkeys. I love their adorable little waddle.

Next, I found some penguins called rock hoppers. Now, they jumped on rocks just like their name. It was so fun to watch them! Later, they were swimming in a big tank, and it looked like they were flying underwater!"

  In some languages, the pronunciation of the letters remains constant, never changing or change very little.  Czech and Spanish are two examples.  English isn't like this.  We have long vowels short vowels and combinations of vowels.  Sometimes the pronunciation seems to change without reason.  Moreover, the speling rarely helps. Consider these three words:  food, blue, and blew - The vowel sounds are all the same, go figure.Has anybody ever looked at you after listening and asked, 'What?'  Last week, my student said through and I heard throw and was totally lost.
