  Welcome to the listening Time podcast.

• 00:03

  Hey, everybody, this is Connor, and you're listening to episode 40 of the listening Time podcast.

• 00:12

  I hope you're all doing well.

• 00:14

  I've been a little bit busy this week.

• 00:17

  I've had to do some extra work recording extra episodes and things like that, because next week I have to take a short trip.

• 00:29

  I need to travel next week, so I won't have time to record episodes or do much editing or those types of things.

• 00:39

  So I have to get ahead.

• 00:42

  Now, in English, when we use the phrase get ahead, it just means that we're going to do something before it's necessary so that it's already finished and we don't need to do it later.

• 00:58

  So I need to get ahead and record a couple extra episodes.

• 01:04

  And now I have to record more episodes in general because now I have the membership program for the listening Time podcast.

• 01:13

  And so those of you who become members have access to extra episodes, an extra episode every month.

• 01:22

  So in general, I have to record my more episodes now and this week even more because I'm going to travel next week.

• 01:32

  So I just want to remind you all about our membership program that I talked about in the last episode.

• 01:39

• 02:06

• 02:25

• 02:35

  So I hope this can be a great opportunity for all of you who really want to improve your listening even more, even faster.

• 02:46

  Okay, so in today's episode, we're going to talk about second language acquisition.

• 02:54

  What does the word acquisition mean?

• 02:56

  Well, this comes from the verb acquire.
