Episode description

In this very special episode, we celebrate hitting the 100-episode milestone of the bonus series. And we do so by flipping the script. Instead of hearing Andrew share a story with you, you’ll get to listen to stories sent in by Culips listeners from around the world. Tune in to hear them share funny moments, discuss their English study routines, and talk about how they’ve leveled up their language skills with Culips.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the creation of this episode. Without our amazing community, Culips wouldn’t exist. We hope you enjoy this special edition of the bonus series, and here’s to many more episodes to come!
