Sheltering Unhoused, Parrot Invasion, Quantifiers

Ashley Thompson and Mario Ritter Jr. host today's Learning English show.
First: In San Francisco, California, workers search for homeless people to shelter at night. The city has more sleeping space available than ever before for people who need it. But some people choose to stay outdoors. The city mayor wants that practice to end. Jill Robbins has the story. (00:55) https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a...
Then: The town of Hilario Ascasubi is overrun by parrots every fall and winter. Biologists say it is because of deforestation. But the colorful birds cause problems for the people of the small town. Mario Ritter, Jr. reports on the situation. (05:09) https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a...
Next: The LE report Everyday Grammar. Jill Robbins and John Russell pack in 'a lot' of info on the subject of quantifiers: a word or phrase to express amount. Then, John joins Mario for 'a few' more details. The two have a 'sophisticated' discussion you won't want to miss! (08:19)
Finally: The LE Lesson of the Day. Andrew Smith and Jill Robbins base their instruction on the LE video series, Let's Learn English. Today they focus on episode 28. Butterflies in the tummy? Sweaty palms? Nothing to worry about as Andrew and Jill calmly discuss how we talk about nervousness. (19:31) https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a...
Mario and Ashley close the show.
