Customer Reviews
Why are prices going up?
Hi, guys!
I really like your podcast, it helps me learn English and something new every time!
But please don't say "war in Ukraine" - it's absolutely wrong and offensive. 🙏
An important truth:
"russian war in Ukraine" or "russian invasion of Ukraine"
We protect ourselves because we want peace and freedom! 🤍
Thank you from Ukrainians!) 🇺🇦
Apple transcripts feature is missing
Please enable automatically generated transcripts to make it easier for anyone to access the text. Is was convenient to read and translate text without leaving the app and have clickable paragraphs to repeat sentences.

You make a great content but I enjoyed it up to a point. You disappointed me with that the top global news is the inflation.
As a citizen of Ukraine, I consider that killing people at 21 century at their motherland is a crucial crime against the humanity.
I don’t see how can you avoid this fact! It is a russia who kills and bomb peaceful cities.
It is a number one global news that worth globe wide attention!
