Thank you who can I find you on italki ?
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!
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!
Hi Tian, thanks for listening and commenting! I hope the podcasts continue to help you. I have a lot of great ideas for the future too. Your routine sounds fantastic! You must be motivated to get up early and exercise before work. Keep it up!
The podcasts are always great Michael. I’m listening to it every day. Loved the tip for the italk, just booked my first lesson using the voucher, yup. Thank you very much for the amazing content.
Hi Ariane, thanks a million! I’m really happy you’re enjoying the podcasts and that you could start using italki. I hope you have a great experience there. Did you get your free $10?
