Things to remember before moving to a foreign country
The basic idea of today's lesson is to remind you of some things to learn before moving to a different
country. Nobody can give you a full list of everything, but if you pay close attention to what you use on a
daily or a regular basis, you can make sure that you know what to get when you move. It's one thing to
know ?I need an alarm clock,? but it's a completely different thing to know where to get that and what
it's called.
Also, a quick pronunciation tip: ?used? pronounced ?uZeD? is the past tense of ?to use.? However,
pronounced ?uSeT?, it is a form of the imperfect in English (?I used to play with my friends everyday
when I was young).
