Episode 3: Portland Coffee Culture

Unbounded Compass is a show about cultural exchange and language improvement, specifically aimed at a Korean audience who is interested in American culture and seeking to improve conversational English.

Co-hosts Jenni, a former language arts teacher, writer, and mother of two, and Inyeong, a transplant from Korea, teacher of English, and mother of one, bring divergent perspectives to the discussion about culture and language. Added to the conversation are clarifications on linguistics, slang, idioms, colloquialisms, and conversational phrasing.
