019: Conversations: What are some of the Great Things about Living in Philadelphia?

Today we study casual English conversation as David and I ask each other questions like: Think back 10 years. What’s something that has changed about your personality? As we speak, we pick out the phrasal verbs, idioms, and interesting vocabulary words that come up naturally in conversation. This includes: the phrasal verb ‘tuck away’, the term ‘byob’, the phrase ‘guilty pleasure’, ‘come along for the ride’, and more.
