172. Conversation Skills with Matheus Cortêz

Ep. 172

My good friend Matheus has returned to the podcast yet again, y'all. Today's episode comes from a chat we had about the reason it's so easy for us to make conversation with each other. Unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties and lost the second half of this chat, but there's still some good food for thought in this clip!

    15:45||Ep. 169
    For some people, the idea that the way you talk is largely determined by the color of your skin is a bit strange. But in the U.S., talking ‘like a black person’ or ‘like a white person’ is an idea that’s deeply ingrained in our culture. This episode is a short story that illustrates the idea and gives you a bit of context to help you understand it.If you want to listen to this show without interruptions from advertisers, subscribe to my patreon 👉 https://patreon.com/realenglishradio — Every dollar goes to funding my caffeine & nicotine addiction so I can stay sane enough to record another episode for you… much love.
