Welcome to the Listening Time podcast.
Hey everybody, this is Connor and you're listening to episode 112 of the Listening Time podcast.
I hope everybody's doing great.
I've been traveling a lot recently and I'm gonna travel again today.
To be honest, I think it's been a little too much traveling in a short period of time.
So I'm excited for this trip that I have, but I'm also excited that after this trip, I'm probably not gonna travel for a while and I'll just have a normal routine and have a normal life.
I'm kind of looking forward to having that for a little while.
But I hope that some of you have some interesting trips planned for maybe this summer or this winter, depending on where you live, which hemisphere you're in.
Hopefully you get the chance to do some fun stuff or travel to some interesting places this year.
And of course, I hope your english learning is going well.
And if you're having trouble understanding native speakers and you need more help understanding fast speech, especially when native speakers reduce sounds and say things in a way that's very unclear or fast or shortened, then I encourage you to sign up for my membership so that you can get my specialized training where I help you identify these different reductions and sounds and patterns that will help you become a little more comfortable with fast speech.
So click on the link in the episode description below this episode to join my membership and you'll get my listening practice seminars.
You'll get that specialized training.
And of course, if you're a spanish or a portuguese speaker, you can get my ebook, my collection of three short stories, mystery stories that I wrote in English and translated into Spanish and into Portuguese.
So if you want to practice reading fiction in English, the links to those are also in the episode description.
All right, today we're going to talk about old age and I'll focus specifically on the US and what old age is like in the US and maybe what life is like for older people and things like that.
So hopefully this will be an interesting topic for you.
And remember that if you need the transcript that's also in the description, you can go down there and click on that if you need it.
