About Extra English Podcast

Made by two Canadian English teachers for English language learners, join Misha and Larissa as they discuss daily life, life in Canada, and anything else that might come up! We are two native English speakers having relaxed, authentic conversations — the kind you might overhear between friends. It’s not a lesson, and we’re not here to speak slowly or perfectly. We’re here to help you get comfortable with real English. Along the way, you’ll hear natural vocabulary, common expressions, and the rhythm of everyday speech. New episodes every week.

   Driving in Canada: Learning to Drive, Driving Abroad & Other Stories

   Do you like driving? Or would you rather take the bus, ride a bike, or let someone else drive?
