Bonus episode #112 – Visiting Osaka

CULIPS ENGLISH PODCAST
About this episode

In this episode, Andrew talks about his upcoming trip to Osaka, Japan. He discusses the top three things he’s looking forward to: the first-ever Culips meetup, shopping, and exploring Osaka through running. Andrew also looks back on his previous visits to Osaka and his travel style, focusing on personal interests rather than typical tourist activities.

This episode will help you improve your English in the following ways:

  • Listening comprehension: Practice understanding a native English speaker as he talks about real-life experiences and plans.
  • Vocabulary building: Learn new words and expressions related to travel, shopping, and running, such as “layover,” “dire need,” “abusing,” and “want list.”
  • Idioms: Understand and learn useful English idioms like “been there, done that,” “talking into the void,” and “hit up” used in context.
  • Pronunciation: Hear the correct pronunciation of everyday English, which you can then practice on your own.
  • English speaking practice: Join discussions with other listeners on the Culips Discord server for additional speaking practice.
