Hello everyone. My name is Andrew and my name is Anna and you're listening to the

Culeps English podcast. cast.

Hello listeners, welcome back to Culeps. This is Chatterbox. Our series for intermediate and advanced English learners that features natural unedited conversations between native speakers about interesting topics.

Today I'm joined by my co-host Anna. Hey there Anna.

Hi Andrew and hello listeners. Everyone today we've got a really fun topic lined up for you all and

Andrew and I are going to talk about something very

personal and maybe something that you've experienced as well which is the

highs and lows of living abroad. It's not all fun and games when you live in another country. So if you're new to Chatterbox, you might not know this. But Andrew and I both live abroad at the moment from our home countries. And we've got lots of interesting stories about this. And today we're going to share a few of them with you.

Exactly and it's a really interesting fact here at Kuleps Anna that our whole team live abroad. I don't know how this happened. It wasn't planned for it just sort of weirdly happened that everybody that's involved with

QLips lives in a different country than their home country.

So, yeah, we have a lot of experience with this at Kuleps.

And I think a lot of our listeners have some experiences with this as well. A lot of our listeners are immigrants or

study abroad students, so I think this is a one that many people can relate to and if you

can't directly relate to it either, well that's fine. I think there will at least be some interesting or funny stories for you guys to check out in this episode.

So I'm looking forward to our chat Anna, but before we get started with it, let's remind everyone about the study guide for this episode.

So guys, in the study guide, you'll find detailed vocabulary definitions and examples.

listen to this episode. And to get the study guide, you just need to become a QLips member,

and you can find out all of the details and sign up on our website, which is Q-L-I-S-C-O-I-S-C-O-I-S-C-O-T-C-E-S-C-O-T-C-E-S-C-T-C-O-T coming, becoming a and you can find out, IPS.com. Becoming a member helps support the work we do here at Kuleps, but it also gives
