Because of cars and homes often surrounded by gardens and grass, Americans don't spend time near each other like people who live in areas with denser housing and more public transportation. In this episode, Goyo discusses how through church activities, kids' sports, and festivals, Americans still get together to fulfill social needs.

En este episodio, el Profe Goyo ofrece muchas razones para darte un poco de perdón sobre tu viaje con idiomas. Escucha para aprender de como:

cometes más errores al principio de conversaciones, y por eso, que siempre se empieza sintiendo ridículo;

te equivocas cuando hablas fuera de los contextos conocidos, pero también dentro de una situaciones en las cual tienes mucha experiencia;

usar los momentos avergonzonsos para avanzar tu uso del idioma;

balancear "practicar" y "estudiar" con "procesar temas de tu gusto."

Gracias por escuchar. "Where does Gary Go?" empieza ¡dentro de dos meses!

In 1864, the US Army was marching towards Atlanta, GA, a major railroad intersection, to defeat the Confederates who had seceded from the US. Blocking their path was Kennesaw Mountain. The federal troops both charged up the mountain and around it to break the lines of the rebel army.

In 2003, a young man and his friend decide to camp on Kennesaw Mountain because they hear that it might have ghosts. They sneak onto the park site and spend the night. What they see and hear changes them forever.

Listen to one ghost story based in local folklore about a young married couple doomed to be separated by war.
