#319 How to Vote in the USA

Georgiana, founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com
About this episode

This week, we had elections in the U.S., which is a great time to discuss voting! I'll explain how voting works in the USA —who can vote, how to do it, and some useful words. If voting seems confusing, don't worry—I'll make it simple.

Hi! I'm Georgiana, and I'm back with a new episode. I'm here to help you speak English fluently. And what do you need to speak fluently? You need to LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN, and LISTEN. :)
