Summary

Have you ever bought or sold something used online? That’s the question that Andrew and Suzanne discuss in this Simplified Speech episode. Andrew talks about some sales he’s made recently, and Suzanne shares some crazy stories about different experiences she’s had as both a buyer and a seller. Simplified Speech episodes feature two native English speakers having clear, natural, and easy-to-understand conversations about interesting topics, like buying and selling used things. This helps improve your English listening skills and, through listening, helps you speak English naturally.
