  Hi, everybody.

  My name is Shauna and this is the American English Podcast.

• 00:09

  My goal here is to teach you the English spoken in the United States.

• 00:13

  Through common expressions, pronunciation tips, and interesting cultural snippets or stories,

• 00:19

  I hope to keep this fun, useful, and interesting.

• 00:22

  Let's do it.

• 00:27

  Welcome back.

• 00:37

  appropriate behavior related to gift giving,

• 00:41

  and whether you should take your shoes off when you come into someone's house.

• 00:46

  Now, this is a continuation of that chat,

• 00:49

  and you can expect to hear a lot about tipping, splitting the bill, and more.

• 00:57

  but when you're talking about this topic, I'm certain they will.

• 01:17
