EPISODE 119 🙇 WHAT AMERICANS REALLY MEA...

BRENT
About this episode

I'm sorry. I was not on a trail in New Hampshire when I made this video. I was at my house. 😀

Americans say "sorry" all the time. In this slow English lesson, I explain some of the reasons Americans might say "sorry" and there are some reasons you might not realize. We don't just say "sorry" in English when something is our fault, we also say "sorry" when we hope things will get better for you, like, if you are going through a difficult time. I hope you learn a little something from this English lesson in slow, clear English.
