The little joy of listening to English TV shows

As part of my routine to improve my English, I have been listening to English TV shows while cooking, and my recent choice is “The Lincoln Lawyer.” Although understanding unfamiliar legal terms can be a challenge, I have been pretty satisfied with it since the overall conversations are rather clear and easy to follow. And then something clicked.

Wait, I know this voice!

Usually, I only listen to the show with the phone screen off, but this time I looked at the screen to see if she was who I thought she was.

And, yes! I was right.

It was the actress, LisaGay Hamilton, from “The Practice”. Although, I could see that time had passed for her since “The Practice” years, her voice still sounds the same. Even though I don’t know her in person, there is that little excitement you feel when you see someone after a long time.

This is one of the little joys of listening to English TV shows.

Just a little excitement.
