Welcome to English as a Second Language Podcast, number 224. Holiday Promotions. This is English as a Second Language Podcast, episode 224. I'm your host, Dr. Jeff McQuillan, coming to you from the Center for Educational Development.

0:27

In beautiful Los Angeles, California, how are you today? In this podcast, we are going to talk about buying things or actually selling things for the holiday season. Remember this episode will also have a learning guide on our website.

0:52

The learning guides include all of the vocabulary definitions, sample sentences, additional definitions that we don't talk about on the podcast, cultural notes, and a free trip to Los Angeles. Well okay, not a free trip to Los Angeles, but everything else is on the learning guide. You can find those at ESLPOD.com.

That was the opening. The rest of the episode (15 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
