From New Amsterdam to New York: How a Dutch Colony Became a Global City | English Listening Practice
New York City wasn’t always "New York"—it began as a Dutch settlement called New Amsterdam. In this episode, we explore how the Dutch arrived, how the English took control, and how the city’s early diversity shaped what it is today. We also take a closer look at the famous “purchase” of Manhattan and what it meant from different cultural perspectives.Website: https://www.sharing-english.com/podcastMusic: “Cherish” by Sascha Ende https://ende.app/en/song/498-cherishLicense: https://ende.app/en/standard-license
