About this episode

In today's English lesson, you are going to be learning English in the world's largest urban rainforest. And maybe the first term we should talk about is urban. Urban means like the city. The difference is rural. Rural means out in the country, like kind of where we are right now, or at least it looks like that. But we are still in the city of Rio. This is the world's largest urban rainforest, which means we are still technically inside a city. It's about 13 square miles wide, and we took an Uber to get here. I'll show you a little of that footage in just a minute so you can see what urban looks like. Before we talk too much about the rainforest here, let me take you back to Rio as we were leaving this morning. It was definitely rush hour. 💙 WANT PRIVATE LIVE CHATS AND BONUS ENGLISH? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCakDTg9dhhAsr3WmHyJDa-g/join 📽️ Want to record lessons like this?
