Who are you calling a brat?

Someone asked me about this picture on my Flickr account. This is a slide that my father found in a box of old pictures. The picture is of my mother, her brother (my uncle Willy) and their parents. (my grandparents) They were on a trans-Atlantic boat ride from Germany to America. You can hear more about it if you listen to the podcast.

I talk about the U.S. election that is going on right now in the US and a little bit about my opinions on who I think should be the next president.

As always, please feel free to email me if you have any ESL questions.

Here are some of the new vocabulary words I introduced this podcast:

neck and neck - even or very close; indeterminate as to the outcome: They were coming toward the finish line neck and neck.

primary - a preliminary election in which voters of each party nominate candidates for office, party officers, etc. Barack Obama beat Hillary Clinton in the Washington D.C. Democratic Primary.

army brat - the child of an army officer or enlisted person, especially one who has grown up on army bases or in military communities. Mark and Mary were both army brats who grew up moving from one country to the next.
