Hello everyone. How's it going? My name's Andrew and you're listening to Simplified Speech.

The Culep series for intermediate level learners, which features clear, natural, and easy to understand

conversations between native speakers. Today, I'm hanging out with Cassie and we're going to catch up

about her massive two-month trip across

the United States. She visited some amazing places from the forests of Oregon to the deserts of

Arizona. Sounds like the perfect dream vacation, right? Well, just wait till you hear about the

end of the story.

Cassie tells me about a really crazy event.

I'm not going to spoil it, but you've got to listen all the way to the end of this episode, guys,

because some craziness went down at the end of her trip.

Very, very shocking.

So I want you to hear all of the details.

But before we get started,

I have to ask you, are you serious about reaching the next level with your English? If the answer is yes, then I'm here to help. And I want to recommend signing up and becoming a Culeps member.

As a Culeps member, you will get access to our helpful study guides, including interactive

transcripts and quizzes for all of our episodes.

But maybe most importantly, you'll also get access to our weekly speaking classes.

These are small, friendly group classes led by expert teachers like Indiana, Alina, and me.

And these classes are a great way to not only be active with your English, but to also

connect with other English learners from around the world and make some new friends,

so I really want to encourage you to try them out.

You can sign up and
