About this episode
Today, we’re gonna talk about one of the biggest goals that English learners have — and that is: building vocabulary.

And second — I’ve got you. In this English lesson podcast, I’m gonna give you simple, practical tips that’ll help you grow your vocabulary without feeling overwhelmed or bored.
