Written by:
Do you still remember your best friend’s phone number from when you were a kid? Andrew and Indiana share some fun memories from the days when every home had a phone connected to the wall, and talk about the pros and cons of life with a landline. Along the way, you’ll learn useful English vocabulary like “a peek behind the curtain,” “to get through to someone,” “a comedy of errors,” “fishy,” “to come in handy,” and “peak something.”
