Welcome to Learning English, a daily 30-minute program from the Voice of America.

I'm Katie Weaver.

And I'm Mario Ritter Jr.

This program is designed for English learners, so we speak a little slower and we use words

and phrases especially written for people learning English.

On today's program, John Russell tells about a special museum in Miami, Florida on our new All About

America series. Then Jill Robbins shows how games are a good way to teach English.

Ana Mateo follows with healthy tips for your diet.

Then Jill returns with Andrew Smith for the lesson of the day.

But first, here is John.

Paradox Museum Miami is a mixture of art, science, and fun. The 1,000 square meter museum is housed in Miami's

Winwood Arts and Entertainment Area. It has more than 70 public displays known as exhibits.

Executive director Samantha Impelezeri says these exhibits challenge the imagination.

She added that visitors can walk away from the experience with some really fun and interesting material for social media.

Paradox Museum has more than ten locations throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.

The Miami location, which opened in 2022, was the first in North America. The term paradox is central to the museum and what visitors experience. A paradox is a situation or thing that has seemingly

opposite or contradictory qualities. Each paradox is uniquely tied to its community,

Impelleseri said.

So as you walk throughout the experience, you'll notice different themes and art installations

that directly reflect not only Miami, but the Winwood community specifically.

Many of the displays at Paradox Museum suggest old carnival fun houses,

buildings that had devices and rooms designed to surprise or amaze visitors.
