#420: How I Achieved My Dream of Living in the U.S. as an English Learner — How I Went, Where, and My #1 Tip for You

In this episode, I sit down with my co-host to ask him all about his unforgettable journey as a work-and-travel exchange student in the U.S. Hear all about his time working at a ski resort, the culture shocks he faced, the life lessons he gained, and how watching TV shows at home helped him get comfortable with English before the trip. It’s a fun and inspiring look at what it’s like to work abroad and embrace a whole new world of experiences!

By the end of this episode, you will:

  • Learn about a program Izzy used to find a job in the US
  • Learn great vocabulary related to ski resorts, like “Chairlift”, “Snow tubing” and “Terrain park”
  • Have fun with the hilarious stories Izzy shared from the times he worked at the guest service at Seattle ski resort. 

Plus:

  • Expand your vocabulary with a ton of practical expressions.
  • Find out about some culture shocks of a Brazilian living in the US
  • Celebrate the achievements of our Learner of the Week.
