🇺🇸 Why do Americans get free refills? Why do servers take your credit card away? And why does everyone have a dryer?

In this episode of the Learn English Podcast, we explore the everyday things that are completely normal in the United States but can seem surprising or strange to visitors and people from other countries. From free refills and drive-thrus to tipping culture, late store hours, and clothes dryers — each topic is explained clearly in real American English.

Designed for intermediate English learners (B1–B2), this episode builds vocabulary around American culture and everyday life while helping you understand the differences between the US and other countries.
