Description

On this episode of English with Dane, I tell a crazy story that happened to me back in 2006 when I went to visit a friend in the UNITED STATES. It’s a great opportunity to review some travel/airport related vocabulary, as well as some new expressions to use when telling a story. If you’d like a free full transcript of the show, write to me on Instagram or send me an email at englishwithdane@gmail.com.Transcript:Hey, what’s up? What’s going on? Welcome to another episode of English with Dane, a show designed to improve your English. As always, I’m your host Dane, and you can find me on Instagram and Twitter @englishwithdane Today’s episode is a one-off bonus episode. While I figure out the ins and outs of season two, I thought I’d put out an episode and use it to introduce a new segment that will include stories from different people I know. Since it’s the first time, I figured I’d get the ball rolling and share one of my stories. This is a story I told a long time ago when I had a different show, so most of you will be unfamiliar with it. I decided to tell it on English with Dane because not only do I think its a good story, but it will also give us the opportunity to look at some travel-related vocabulary, which several of you have requested. But enough talking. Let’s just get into it. You are listening to a bonus episode of English with Dane, hit it!In 2006, I traveled to Florida from Madrid, to visit one of my best friends from my days in Lima, Peru. As many of you know, I grew up in a few different countries: Peru, the United States, and Spain. Lima, Maryland, and Madrid to be a bit more precise.  During my time in Lima, I met some great people, one of which was my friend Juan Andrés. Or Juana as I called him. His mom is a friend of my mom’s from school and it just so happened that her son and I were in the same class and became really good friends too. We had a lot in common and we spent a lot of time together, playing music, skateboarding, drawing, etc.  Fast forward 4 or 5 years and I was 17 years old, living in Madrid and my friend Juana and I had lost touch a bit. You know how it is at that age…. and Facebook wasn’t popular yet. It would still be a few years until it became a standard tool to keep in touch, so what we had was MSN messenger and that was pretty much it. But even then we didn’t keep in touch.  So, we hadn’t spoken in a few years. But then, one day he called me out of the blue and we ended up talking  (terminamos hablando) for more than an hour. He told me about his life in Peru after I left, and then his new life in Florida, I shared stuff about my new life in Madrid, etc. After our chat, we thought it would be a great idea to see each other again and pick up where we left off. He suggested I go visit him in Florida, and after talking to my parents and then our parents talking amongst each other, they decided it would be a good idea. Huge shout out to my parents for making that possible.  So we planned the trip. We chose dates, went online to look for tickets, and finally, the trip was ready to go. I’d arrive there late July/early August and fly back around the 8th or 9th I believe. I would stay with my aunt in Miami the first few days and then would go up to Boca Ratón to spend time with my buddy Juana and his family. It was a great trip. We reconnected right away and had a great time. He introduced me to his friends, we went to the beach, we went wakeboarding, we went to universal studios and rode some rollercoasters, etc. Super, super fun trip....For the full transcript contact: englishwithdane@gmail.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/englishwithdane)
