In this episode, I interview Ivan Crespo, an ESL pronunciation and communication teacher and Ph.D. student in Curriculum & Instruction at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. In this episode, Ivan shares some differences he has noticed between American culture and Brazilian culture.  He also shares the most common idioms and expressions he hears Americans using on campus and we discuss the academic lifestyle and some fascinating aspects of American culture and language in the Midwest.  https://movingenglishlessons.com/culture-and-idioms-in-illinois/
