Bonus episode #115 – Hot spring heist

CULIPS ENGLISH PODCAST
About this episode

In this episode, Andrew tells a story about camping in British Columbia, Canada. He went with his brother and talks about their journey on logging roads, setting up camp in the rain, and enjoying a natural hot spring. Andrew also talks about an incident with his stolen sandals, describes the beautiful Kalamalka Lake, and explains why this trip was so special to him.

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

  • Listening practice: You’ll get to hear a native English speaker tell a detailed story about his outdoor experience. This helps improve your understanding of spoken English.
  • New vocabulary: Learn words and phrases related to camping, nature, and travel, like “logging road,” “raging river,” and “hot spring.”
  • Useful expressions: Understand common English idioms such as “better safe than sorry,” “stone’s throw away,” and “slept like a baby” in context.
  • Canadian culture: Learn about outdoor activities in Canada, small-town experiences, and popular natural attractions.
  • Pronunciation: Listen to the correct pronunciation of everyday English words and nature-related vocabulary, which you can practice yourself.
  • English speaking practice: Join discussions with other listeners on the Culips Discord server for additional speaking practice.
