That's right, we're visiting the 1950s.
Alright, so we are going to the year 1950.

Yes.
All of these words and phrases you might still hear today, but they are really a little bit old-fashioned.
Alright, so we have some words that we need to look at before we listen to our dialogue.
So let's look at these words in vocabulary preview.
Vocabulary preview.
We have two words we're going to hear in the dialogue.
The first one, sock hop.
Sock hop.
A sock hop.
Okay, now this is very old-fashioned and probably not used anymore.
No, not used anymore.
But a sock hop is a school dance.
Okay, so all the kids after school would get together and dance rock and roll in the gym or something.
