Many churches have spires, castles have spires and if you think of Rapunzel, you probably imagine her locked away at the top of a tower or in the spire part of the tower. A spire is part of a building, usually shaped like a cone. Rapunzel, as you probably know, is a fairy tale character that has very long hair and she lived in the top of a tower or in a spire, we might say.
Why was Rapunzel so creative in her escape? For today, though, let's go ahead and start with a joke. I'll be sure to provide the link to that within the transcript. The intro to this episode was of Walt Disney welcoming guests to Disneyland on its opening day in July of 1955, and it was taken from an interview with his daughter, Diane Disney. His story is very relatable and very interesting. At the same time, he wasn't immune to failure. During his lifetime, he had a number of achievements that were accomplished, not just because he was a visionary, but because he was a go-getter. In the last 10 to 15 minutes or so, for the fun fact, I'll share the life story of Walt Disney with you. I'll begin by telling you a joke, then we'll work through an expression, which is "out of this world" and we'll do some pronunciation exercises. Hello and welcome back to episode number 60. Through common expressions, pronunciation tips and interesting cultural snippets or stories, I hope to keep this fun, useful and interesting. My goal here is to teach you the English spoken in the United States. My name is Shana and this is the American English Podcast.

If you’ve been following this podcast, you might know that in episode 113, I spoke about our big move from a small town in Northern California (aka NorCal) called Woodland to a metropolis to LA, which is located in Southern California (SoCal).īack in that episode, I explained my concerns about moving here, which were founded on previous experiences in the city, some stereotypes and some impressions made from films and movies. This is casual, so you’ll hear pausing and thinking, you’ll hear natural transitions from one idea to the next in hopes that you can do the same in English!
