1. Learn Vocabulary - Learn some new vocabulary before you start the lesson.
2. Read and Prepare - Read the introduction and prepare to hear the audio.
Some twins share a spooky psychic connection. They’re able to sense what the other is thinking or feeling. With chemistry like that, you can imagine that twins would make good bandmates, as long as they didn’t have any sibling rivalry.
Tegan and Sara are twin sisters from Canada. They’re also a two-woman indie rock band. Find out if Mason and Jason think Tegan and Sara use their twin superpowers for good or evil on their new album, Sainthood.
Dialog
1. Listen and Read - Listen to the audio and read the dialog at the same time.
2. Study - Read the dialog again to see how the vocab words are used.
Mason: I was listening to the radio the other day, and I…a new song came on and I was like, “Oh I think that kinda sounds like Tegan and Sara,” ‘cause they have really distinctive voices. And it was, the announcer said afterwards, but I didn’t really pay attention. So now I gotta go seek out, apparently they’ve got a new album coming out.
Jason: I think they do. I’ve also heard it on the radio, though I’ve never really followed them. They’re Canadian, right? What are they all about?
Mason: They are, they’re this Canadian…I think they’re twins.
Jason: Yeah, they’re identical twins. I saw it on TV.
Mason: I know they’re both really cute, so that’s…I just kinda left it at that. But I discovered them, I’ll take credit for it of course, with their last album, The Con, which was great.
Jason: Do you feel like their twin-ship affects their performance and songwriting?
Mason: I can only imagine. I mean, they’re really tight. It’s kinda like a Simon and Garfunkel kind of tightness, where it’s like two people who understand each other so well and can express that musically. So the twin-ship, sisterhood sorta thing has to play a role.
Jason: Gotcha.

Discussion
Mason loved Tegan and Sara’s album The Con. He was excited to hear a new song by them on the radio recently. The twin sisters from Canada have new album out called Sainthood.
Jason wonders if the fact that Tegan and Sara are twins affects their music. Mason says that they seem to understand each other and be really tight as a band. Their sisterhood probably has something to do with that.
Would you like to be in a band with one of your siblings? Do you think twins share a special connection?
