Lesson: America’s Campground
I bet this is different from what you thought it was when you first saw the title. Believe it or not, many Americans and Canadians, for that matter, overnight at Walmart. My uncle was a professional long-haul truck driver, and in his spare time, he would take his wife in their RV (recreational vehicle) all across North America. Most of the time, they parked in picturesque campgrounds, but occasionally, they stayed at a Walmart parking lot. It’s part of the North American RV/#Vanlife culture. I suppose it is a hidden subculture that most people don’t know about unless they are a member of the RVing community who travels across the continent, homeless and happy to be so.

Each conversation topic is based on a theme. In order to help students acquire a basic understanding of that topic, four media articles are provided for them to read. I will never test you on the articles, but I strongly suggest you book lessons far enough in advance to give yourself enough time to properly prepare. The better prepared you are, the more benefit you will receive from our conversations.
