About this episode

Ray (Learn English with Ray) joined me at the start of 2022 to discuss resolutions and planning for the new year. We look at some questions to make plans for the year as well as some useful expressions you can use at this time.

This is a really casual chat so you get to hear real, natural English with me and Ray's wonderful Scottish accent.
