774 - Showing Gratitude

Michael DiGiacomo Happy English
About this episode
Next week is a holiday called Thanksgiving here in the USA. It’s a family holiday, where we show gratitude and appreciation to others. And that gave me the idea to help you boost your vocabulary about thanking someone.

The topic for today is how to thank someone and how to respond when someone thanks you - so you can sound more like a native English speaker.
