Tom Teaches: Americanisms
Californian 250-Year-Old Man! (Intermediate - Advanced)
•
Thomas Bachman
In this Episode we meet a folk hero from California who lived to 250 years old.
He lived so long that the only thing left he wanted to do was die! Unfortunately for him, that wasn't possible.
As usual, I start with an introduction. Then I read the full story, without stopping. Next, I go back and explain any interesting vocabulary. And finally, I read the story again, without stopping. Hopefully by the second time hearing it, you understand more easily than you did the first time hearing it.
