I'm Charlie and I'm here to help you with your English language learning needs. </p><p>I've been teaching English for over 14 years now and I've helped lots of adults with the general English skills, job interview prep, preparing to study abroad, and all kinds of test prep from GRE to IELTS, TOEIC and TOEFL, and all those kinds of things that they would need to work or study abroad.</p><p>If you're in need of opportunities to practice and learn English but you don't necessarily have time to go to the traditional classroom, well, this is the right podcast for you. What we're going to do is, my plan is to post twice a week. </p><p>Mondays, I plan on posting current events and news stories and things like that, that a lot of people are interested in hearing, not just language learners, but also casual listeners. </p><p>And then, on Wednesdays I plan on posting on more academic topics for those who are preparing for tests or wanting to study abroad. </p><p>What can you learn? Well, there's going to be all kinds of opportunities for you to get involved with this podcast. </p><p>You will have opportunities to answer questions and join our discussions on discord. </p><p>You’ll have opportunities to join more premium content and get worksheets and other activities that you can do to foster and improve your learning, and also just to practice English casually and to know that you're moving in the right direction and making the right moves to get your English to where it needs to be. </p><p>Now, some of you may be trying to improve for a particular test or an upcoming interview. And others of you may have a new boss or something that requires you to speak English that you're not comfortable with doing just yet. </p><p>And others are just casual listeners who want to join in on the conversation and have a good time. </p><p>Once again, thank you for checking us out, this trailer, and I look forward to meeting you all and getting to knowing you and helping you with your English needs. Thank you and we'll see you next time.&nbsp;</p>","author_name":"Ben Jones"}
