Synopsis: Lyla sets out with Penny on her first apartment search, carrying the sage advice of Kofi — a college student from Ghana who works at the neighborhood coffee shop. From cramped kitchens to lease negotiations with Mr. Evans, she learns the trade‑offs between convenience, comfort, and the fine print of renting.

Character Spotlight: Lyla weighing choices and comparing advantages between different apartments.

“It’s a trade‑off, isn’t it? Convenience versus comfort.”

Learning Hook (Zoe’s Vocabulary Corner):

This episode focuses on everyday housing language — the phrasal verbs and idioms you need when describing apartments and making rental decisions. Zoe highlights expressions like “look over” and “scope out,” showing how they apply not only to apartment hunting but also to workplace communication. You can practice balancing convenience and comfort while building confidence with practical vocabulary.

Tagline: “Finding a home means finding the right words.”
