Hi everyone. Those who come here often will notice that the site has not been updated for a while. It is still here and will still be here. All the posts will still be here, but the focus will change. I am going to have help and the blog will be more about communication between English learners and teachers. See you soon!

I know that I haven’t put up a podcast in a while; I am working on something that I hope is really cool.
