Hi guys, I’ve just listened to the last episode with Jessica Beck and I have to say that I looooooooooove Jessica! (Not in a romantic way, of corse…). She’s a super-funny girl, her voice is happy, she is happy! Her happiness makes my day every morning when I listen to the Energy IELTS Podcast while I commute. She is amazing. There is one more thing, because of her tip I knew The Real Life English Podcast, which I also love (not looooooooooove, but just love, ok? In a no homo way… Hahaha).
Guys, this podcast is very pleasant to listen to. Congratulations and Ó-YÉ!
