Learn English with EnglishPod101.com! You can barely sit up after eating a hearty, multiple-course Thanksgiving meal with your American host family. In fact, you’re ready for a long nap after a full day of filling your belly and watching American football. However, your American hosts are already planning the rest of the long holiday weekend. They tell you that tomorrow is Black Friday, so be prepared. Oh no…that sounds ominous!

In this lesson, you will learn about the origins of the American Thanksgiving holiday. We’ll also tell you how most people in the United States spend this day, and we’ll explain what else Americans might do on this long weekend. Visit us at EnglishPod101.com, where you will find English lesson notes (remember—this Advanced Audio Blog lesson is spoken entirely in English!) and many more fantastic lessons and learning resources!
