16 SEP 2024 · While I was writing this lesson, I was thinking about the early days of my teaching career in Sendai, Japan. While living there, I had the chance to visit a lot of interesting places. While it was different from my life back home in New York, living there was quite an adventure.
While is an interesting word in English, because it can be use as a noun, a conjunction, and an adverb. While you may think you know many of these uses, hopefully there is something new you can find in this podcast English lesson.
