La formica ha trascorso l'estate accumulando cibo per l'inverno, mentre la cicala ha pensato solo a divertirsi. Chi arriverà meglio preparata al sopraggiungere del freddo?

La cicala e la formica

My mom and I take a quiz about American dialects to discover whether we speak the same way as other people from our region.

FULL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT AVAILABLE HERE⁠⁠: https://american-idiom.com/f/006-exploring-american-dialects-part-one

During our conversation, we also discuss regional vocabulary and accents from distinct sociocultural regions across the United States, including the South, the West Coast, New England, Texas, the Midwest and more.

You'll certainly learn a bit more about regional American cultures as well!
