English podcast.

0:16

Take your time.

0:19

Listen carefully

0:23

and watch my hand gestures

0:28

to understand

0:31

new words in English.

0:35

Today

0:37

I want to introduce

0:42

myself

0:44

to you. I am Tyiana.

0:50

My full name

0:55

is Tyiana

0:57

Ortiz.

1:00

My first name

1:04

is Tyiana

1:07

and my last name is Ortiz.

1:15

I am 21

1:19

years old.

1:23

Actually,

1:25

I will be

1:28

22

1:30

years old

1:33

1:36

My birthday

1:39

is November

1:42

22nd.

1:44

So

1:46

I will be

1:50

turning

1:51

22

1:54

on November

1:57

22nd.

2:00

On November 22nd,

2:04

I will be turning 22

2:09

years old.

2:12

And in the United States,

2:16

that is called

2:19

your golden birthday.

2:23

For example,

2:26

if you were born

2:30

on January

2:33

4th [snorts]

2:35

and you turn 4 years old,

2:41

then that's your

2:44

golden birthday.

2:47

Tell me

2:49

when is your golden birthday?

2:54

Did your golden birthday

2:59

already pass

3:02

or

3:04

not yet?

3:06

I am from the United States,

3:12

Nebraska.

3:14

I was born in Nebraska,

3:20

USA.

3:22

I grew up in Nebraska,

3:28

USA.

3:30

My mom is from the United States.

3:36

My dad is from Mexico.

3:42

That's why I look

3:46

kind of mixed

3:50

like a cappuccino.

3:54

When I was 8 years old,

4:00

my dad was

4:04

deported

4:06

back to Mexico. So

4:10

we all moved to Mexico

4:16

to live.

4:17

It was a big change.

4:23

Everything

4:25

changed.

4:27

But

4:29

Mexico has beautiful people

4:35

and I have a beautiful

4:39

family.

4:41

And you?

4:44

Where are you from?

4:48

Where did you

4:52

grow up?

4:56

I studied

5:00

elementary school,

5:04

middle school,

5:06

and high school

5:10

in Mexico.

5:12

But

5:14

I did not study

5:19

at university.

5:22

Did you study

5:25

at university?

5:28

What did you study?

5:32

After high school,

5:36

I began

5:38

to work

5:41

to make money.

5:44

I worked as an English teacher

5:51

online.

5:53

That was my job.

5:58

6:42

job.

7:10

What is your job?

7:14

What do you do for work?

7:20

Remember,

and listen to music

8:04

in my headphones

8:09

and look at little shops.

8:15

I love little markets

8:19

or shops.

8:23

It's my favorite activity

8:27
