Easy Stories in English is back! But there are a few changes:

  1. There will only be a new episode once a fortnight (once every two weeks)
  2. I am stopping teaching
  3. I am going to start scripting the conversation section instead of improvising it
  4. The email newsletter will just contain information about new episodes and other news
  5. I am changing the content of the Patreon levels

For all the details, check out the transcript.

New Vocabulary: Fatigue, Burn out, Fortnight, Evergreen content, To do with, Improvise, Script, Pledge, Bonus, Q&A, Sum up.
