Episode 52: Why Americans Are Always "Busy"
Have you noticed that Americans always seem to be busy? In this episode, I explore why "being busy" is such a big part of American culture, what it really means when someone says they're busy, and how to navigate this cultural difference. As with all episodes, this one is just the right length for practicing your listening skills in one sitting. This means you can improve your English without needing a lot of time.
