0:00.0	You're listening to Chatterbox, the Culep series for intermediate to advanced English learners,
0:05.8	and here you can hear clear and natural conversations about fascinating topics.
0:11.5	My name is Andrew.
0:12.7	I'm a Canadian living in Seoul, South Korea, and in just a second I'll be joined by my special
0:19.4	guest co-host for today, Alina.
0:22.4	Now, some of you may know Alina. She helps us as a moderator on
0:26.2	our discord server, and she's also one of our study guide writers. She's originally from
