120 - 5-Minute English: U.S. Geography

Shana Thompson
About this episode

Today you're going to learn so many fun facts about the US, all of which have to do with geography. You'll hear about the topography, so the physical features of the land that make it visually unique. And you'll also learn about the population - so where residents are distributed throughout the country.

By the end of this episode, you should have a solid geographical overview of the United States and be able to talk about geography in English.

Note: The goal of 5-Minute English episodes is to smash all of the must-know terms about a topic into 5 minutes. Geography required a bit more, but in my opinion that extra bit was really enjoyable! I hope you feel the same. :)
