Independent Study 6

Today is the last class in our current four-class set. The phrases of the week are,"once in a blue moon" and "swimming in." Once in a blue moon means that it doesn't happen frequently. For example, "These days I go skiing once in a blue moon." Swimming in refers to a lot of something for example, "I am swimming in homework for my Korean class." 

Our reading material is about mentors. Please be able to explain the vocabulary words. Our listening material is an introduction to the German English accent. We will listen to an interview with BMW CEO, Harald Krüger.
