    Guys,
    It’s very nice listening to you on podcasts … I’m glad ’cause each week I’m getting better.
    The positive thing in these podcasts is that you guys explain to the listeners the meaning of some words and expressions…
    I don’t have reasons to lie about it, so, it’s true!
    I’m really grateful with the possibility to learn the real English. Well-done!
