Welcome to the A to Z English podcast.
My name is Jack, and I'm here with my co-host, Xochitl.
And I'm going to let Xochitl introduce today's topic.
All right, students.
Well, I was recently in Oklahoma.
on a trip and i'm so sorry i'm just kidding yes i feel like okay there's a there's a joke a running joke that ohio is the worst state in america and i don't know why no florida florida's so many worst states but like florida has miami oklahoma has to be the worst day i'm sorry oklahoma i'm so sorry okies but it's true
like it has to be the worst state
because texas has like some cool cities like dallas and houston and austin and um Latino culture and Florida also has like Miami and Latino culture and a lot of Cubans and like there's and it's beautiful like has like so much beautiful nature um but Oklahoma like come on I can't I literally
if if any Oklahomans or people students who are from Oklahoma are listening to this like like exchange students first of all I'm so sorry but second of all tell me something you like about Oklahoma
because I'm you know wondering anyway I like I like the shape of the state I like how it has like a like a pan handle a little literal pan handle yes that is cool about Oklahoma anyway um I was at Oklahoma and I stopped to eat at a diner and I was
like you know what I bet our students may not be familiar with the concept of the difference between a diner,
like an American diner, and a restaurant.
And so I told Jack, like, let's make an episode about this.
And so, Jack, what would you say is the difference between a diner and a restaurant?
Well, the biggest difference maybe when you walk in the door is at a diner, you just grab a seat.
In a restaurant, you wait to be sat by somebody.
You know what I mean?
it's it's more more formal at a restaurant and a diner is more informal you know kind of like a it's almost like a cafeteria they they use that word here in korea to describe like certain restaurants that are
like you know
because i would just call everything a restaurant and they would laugh when i called um this place called kimbap heaven uh
