About this episode

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 !
