    1. The podcast was rebranded to The Level Up English Podcast. If you click on the “Podcast” button at the top of the page, it should redirect you to the new website. Let me know if it doesn’t work for you.

  1. Hi Michael, could you do a podcast talking about English phonemes, how to learn to read or practice them or talk about it in level up english. I don’t know what the correct way to learn them is, trying to hear a word and imitate the sound, or learning each phoneme separately. Which dictionary is recommended to practice vocabulary? 🙁

    1. Those are all good questions and I’m happy to receive your request! I’m certainly not an expert when it comes to pronunciation and phoneme teaching, but I’m slowly learning more. I’ll definitely consider doing a podcast and Level Up content on this in the future, but I’ll need to do some research first. Hopefully I can make something useful. Thanks, Debb!
