I have a lot of questions online, on my website, on social media, asking for help, but unfortunately I can&apos;t help everyone.<br/><br/>So I thought a podcast would be a great way to reach more people and, hopefully, help people improve their English, and also British English.<br/><br/>I <em>love</em> podcasts! I listen to several hours of podcasts every day, so I think it&apos;s a really good way to learn no matter how busy you are.<br/><br/>I&apos;m really passionate about helping people and I think podcasts are a good way to do that.<br/><br/>So let&apos;s talk about <b>what you can expect in this podcast.<br/><br/></b>A usual episode might include me:</p><ul><li>answering your questions </li><li>providing some advice on how to learn English</li><li>maybe sometimes we can talk about grammar and vocabulary (but in a fun way)</li><li>in the future I may do some interviews as well (I&apos;ve never done that before so we&apos;ll have to see how it goes, but that&apos;s something I would be very interested in trying)</li></ul><p>Each podcast with the podcast notes and all the resources will be available on my website at <a href='https://www.ewmichael.com/podcast '>ewmichael.com/podcast </a><em>(Note: this will redirect to my new website)</em><br/><br/>If you have <b>any questions for me </b>that you&apos;d like me to answer, or any <b>ideas for future episodes, </b>please let me know and I&apos;ll be happy to answer.<br/><br/>So thank you vert much for coming to check out my podcast and I&apos;m looking forward to learning together.<br/><br/>Go to <a href='https://levelupenglish.school/podcast '>https://levelupenglish.school/podcast </a>for more resources and information!<em><br/><br/>------------------<br/><br/>Website: </em><a href='https://levelupenglish.school'><em>levelupenglish.school<br/></em></a><em>Email: </em><a href='mailto: info@ewmichael.com'><em>info@ewmichael.com</em></a><em><br/>Instagram: </em><a href='https://instagram.com/englishwithmichael'><em>@englishwithmichael</em></a><em><br/>Facebook: </em><a href='https://facebook.com/englishwithmichael'><em>/englishwithmichael</em></a><em><br/>Youtube: </em><a href='https://youtube.com/c/englishwithmichael'><em>/englishwithmichael</em></a><em><br/><br/>Personal website: </em><a href='http://www.ewmichael.com'><em>ewmichael.com</em></a></p><p>➡️ <a href='https://www.levelupenglish.school/mini'><b>Join the Free Mini Course</b> - https://www.levelupenglish.school/mini</a><br/><br/>⭐️ <a href='https://www.levelupenglish.school/'><b>Join Level Up English</b> - https://www.levelupenglish.school</a><br/><br/></p> <p><b>Become a member and get:</b></p> <ul> <li>Podcast Transcripts</li> <li>Private Podcast</li> <li>Group Classes</li> <li>Private Coaching</li> <li>And over 500 online lessons!</li> </ul>","author_name":"Michael Lavers"}
