Happy New Years! Today is the first day of our current twelve-class set. The phrase of the week is, "dabbled in." We use this phrase to describe having experienced something. For example, "I have dabbled in web development, but I am far from being an expert."

Today's reading is about the growing popularity of podcasts. Our listening material is a segment from an interview with the founder of Vuzelaa. We are going to take a look at some different accents. Our vocabulary words will come from the reading, please be able to describe the vocabulary words.
