🌮 She took one bite. And looked at her friend. And asked — why has nobody told me about this? Today — Bradley and Megan from LA are telling you the real story of how Mexican culture did not just influence Los Angeles — it IS Los Angeles — while teaching you natural, real, everyday English language. Welcome back to our English podcast from Los Angeles! 🌴☀️ I am Bradley and I am Megan — and every single day we bring you real English conversations to help you learn the English language the way real people actually speak it. Today we are exploring one of the most beautiful and important stories in this entire city — Taco Tuesday. How Mexican Culture Became LA Culture. The history, the food, the language, the art, and the deep truth that this culture was here before Los Angeles was even American. 🌮✨ 🎧 WHY THIS ENGLISH LEARNING PODCAST EPISODE IS SPECIAL: This is not a boring English grammar lesson.
