English at Home
Mar 1800:26:29Tap to summarizeThey say there’s no place like it and it’s where the heart is. It can both a physical place and an obscure concept. In its walls we have everything we’ve ever owned and needed, yet we are always adding to it. We eat, sleep, play, bathe, and even move our bowels in our humble abodes. What would we do without our nest, or a roof over our heads to shelter us from the storm? Who is it? It's me. Welcome to my crib, make yourself at home! We’ll hone in on the home on this week’s episode of FYI!Support the showJOIN our curious community for tons of EXCLUSIVE BONUS content:early accessbonus contentPDF resourcesweekly group classesmonthly private classesdirect access to me in chat groupmany more benefitsAdditional FREE content!
