  Hi, everybody.

• 00:05

  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,

• 00:16

  and interesting cultural snippets or stories, I hope to keep this fun, useful, and interesting.

• 00:22

  Let's do it.

• 00:26

  Hello, and welcome back.

• 00:29

  I'm Shawna, your host,

• 00:31

  and today we're going to take a trip around the world by learning country names and nationalities.

• 00:40

  This will be a pronunciation exercise and a quiz or a game.

• 00:46

  I'm not really sure what to call it.

• 00:49

  I just want to test you to see how much you know.

• 00:53

  So yeah, why this and why now?

• 00:57

  Well, since the World Cup is bringing together countries from all over the world,

• 01:03

  I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to learn the names of some of those countries in English.

• 01:11

  And over the past week and a half, I've had to ask Lucas, like, what is the equivalent of Dutch in Portuguese?

• 01:20

  Or how do you say Japanese in Portuguese?

• 01:25

  And I figure if I have these questions, then you might also.

• 01:31

  So this is going to be pretty fun and useful, especially in the upcoming weeks.

• 01:38

  So here's how today's episode works.
