Mona and I discuss an enigmatic concept known as the American Dream. What does it mean and what doesn't it mean? How do Americans and non-Americans view it differently? In our conversation, we attempt to tease out some answers.

(By the way, my apologies for the poor sound quality in this episode. I'll certainly do my best to fix it for the next episode!)

Join us on a special trip to the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town, where we'll explore the amazing underwater world. Discover colourful fish, funny penguins, and graceful rays as we learn about the ocean and why it's important to protect it. Get ready for an exciting adventure filled with incredible sea creatures and the beauty of nature.

"Welcome to our podcast, Playful English Proficiency!

I'm your host, Adalet, and today we're going on an amazing adventure to the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town, South Africa. Get ready to explore the underwater world and meet some incredible sea animals!

The aquarium is in Cape Town, where you can see a beautiful big mountain called Table Mountain. It's called the Two Oceans Aquarium because two oceans meet here near Cape Town: the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

Inside the aquarium, I saw lots of bright tropical fish, like clownfish and pretty pink anemones. They looked so beautiful!

I also saw some funny penguins. There were penguins from South Africa called African penguins, and they were really noisy! They walked around and made loud noises, like donkeys. I love their adorable little waddle.

Next, I found some penguins called rock hoppers. Now, they jumped on rocks just like their name. It was so fun to watch them! Later, they were swimming in a big tank, and it looked like they were flying underwater!"
