This is a LIVE Q&A podcast that we recorded a couple of weeks ago for Level Up English members. I sent out an invitation for members to join me on Zoom to ask questions.Hopefully, it won’t be the last. If you guys like this, I’ll do more in the future, although most Q&As will be private and will not be published on the podcast. The learners asked some brilliant questions and we did our best to provide advice for each one. We covered topics including changing your learning routine, improving speaking and writing, and thoughts and accent.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast138Join Level Up English & Access Transcripts - https://courses.levelupenglish.school➡️ Join the Free Mini Course - https://www.levelupenglish.school/mini⭐️ Join Level Up English - https://www.levelupenglish.school Become a member and get: Podcast Transcripts Private Podcast Group Classes Private Coaching And over 500 online lessons! 🇬🇧 NEW!
