A Speaking English Reboot: The Place to Start if You're New Here
MAIL BAG
Welcome one and all, especially if this is your first time visiting us. We decided that our first episode doesn't really paint a good picture of what we do here, so we made a bonus episode as an intro to the pod.
So this is what Speaking English is all about: a little about ourselves, what you can expect from us here, and what we do in our different types of episodes.
Thanks for listening, and hope to see you around ! -
