Here's some advice on how to use the podcast and transcript:

1. Listen to the podcast and see how much you can understand. Is it 50%? 70%? The percentage doesn’t matter. Just make a note of it. 

2. Try to summarize the conversation. You can think about it, say it out loud, or write it down.

3. Read the transcript. Do you understand more now that you can read the words? How accurate was your summary? 

4. Listen and follow the transcript, so you can hear the difference between how English is pronounced vs. how it is written

5. Note any words or expressions that you did not understand. Add these to your vocabulary list in your English notebook and make flashcards so
