  1. Hi Micheal and good day,
    Appreciate your effort and kindness. This is my first day on shaping my listening skill. I loved this episode and looking forward to listen to others.
    My daily routine starts a bit late but always fouled by black coffee then just repeating positive phrases to get along with day. A lot go till bed time but I always like to finish my day with a cup of fresh boiled ment.

  2. Mr. Michael , thank you very much for you interesting podcasts . I really enjoy hearing them for many hours.

    Thanks a lot .

    1. Thanks, Manal. At the moment my profile is hidden because I’m not accepting new students, but this might change in the future. Thanks for your interest!

  5. Hi Michael, I hope you are doing well. Although I haven’t found an appropriate time and place to have a lesson with you, I’m listening to your podcasts and trying to learn some new vocab from them. There are so many natural expressions in your podcasts! Thank you for sharing them with us!
    I’m adapting a new routine as I moved to a new city, and I really like my new life. I was a night owl when I was at home, but now I become an early bird. I wake up at the crack of dawn (around 6.30 am), and then I do some exercise whilst listening to your podcasts. I start to work at 9 am, and end it at 5.30 pm. In the evening, I hangout with my lovely roommates. I go to bed at 11.00 pm.
    The above is my routine. I hope I can keep it!
