This is a LIVE Q&A podcast that we recorded a couple of weeks ago for Level Up English members. I sent out an invitation for members to join me on Zoom to ask questions.Hopefully, it won’t be the last. If you guys like this, I’ll do more in the future, although most Q&As will be private and will not be published on the podcast.
