Practical American Spoken English
Part 1 Everyday Life
Everyday life is colorful. However, you won’t enjoy it if you can’t express yourself clearly. You can become the butt of a lot of jokes if you are not careful, which may not be a bad thing. But we all want to be as effective as we can. Let’s learn how to talk in English when we eat, drink and perform other daily tasks.
