Alabama Slang and Culture
Listen now
Description
Welcome to today’s podcast where we will talk to Paige Poole about Alabama’s culture, history, and language.  I met Paige through work since we are both Virtual Educators for the Department of State’s English language programs.  I had heard her being interviewed in a podcast in Spanish and really wanted to have her on the podcast after hearing her fascinating stories.  In this episode she shares about her hometown, and some anecdotes about growing up in Alabama and how living abroad changed her perspective.  She also talks about what it was like to be a lesbian growing up in such a religious part of the USA. If you are interested in culture, diversity, and language, this is a great episode for you to listen to.  Check out the transcript and supplementary materials.
