Hi! I tried something different! I wrote down the transcript of a Youtube video to test my listening of native speakers talking. I ask your help to correct the transcript.

Hi, we are the Hodges and this is life on the Atlanta Beltline
Right when we were thinking about buying a home, that came to surprise at the exact time we started to look, and when we lived in old Fort Eduard, right next to Erwin Street entrance, that was, they hadn’t touched that yet. And then they started working on it after we left to move to Portland, Oregon, and so we missed all that when we lived over there.
We wanted something with walkability, because in Portland we walked everywhere. Everywhere. I never got in the car, except to take the kids to their doctors, then even to go to the grocery shop *inaudible* like a wagon, and go get groceries. So, that, we wanted the possibility of that in the future.
We were looking for a place where we can contribute, and try to help to build something. Yeah. And as linked and perhaps as laborious as the process is, it’s incredibly rewarding. There is no way we would have been able to buy that house, or maybe much of any house without it. It’s great. Yeah. it’s very bright and happy inside, and light bounces around, it’s up to the floors and walls. Great yard. Great yard, take the country in the back, got the attached garage, which we have never had. Plus we have awesome neighbors. Yeah, great neighbors. It has been a great learning process, it is nice to just feel like, you know, this is our property, we own this.
Well, this is the first time we are being able to really put our thumb print on a place that we lived, and then like this is our place. We can turn it into whatever we want to. So that is really cool. A lot of our friends live in the southeast, right near the trail. On the bus that is like an hour, um, in the car it’s like, you know, fifteen minutes, but with the BeltLine that’s a ten-minute bike ride, probably. Fifteen minute bike, I mean, it’s just a straight shoot. And one of the better way to get around, anyway, you know.
I think for one it’s got a conversation started about how much we use cars in this city, and it has made people at least think about taking a bike more or learning how MARTA works. Just those kind of things we didn’t do growing up in Atlanta, and now people are talking about it. And that is more possible, that’s really cool.

Great yard, big pecan tree in the back, got a detached garage, which I have never had. Plus, we have awesome neighbors. Yeah, great neighbors.
