Hello and welcome to Mansion Interviews, a podcast created to improve your English, while at the same time giving me an excuse to talk to interesting people.
This episode we talk to Alex of verbling.com.
Regular listeners of the podcast I do with Reza called Aprender Ingles con Reza y Craig, will know that we’ve been looking at ways in which you can practise your speaking online.
Many of you have said how much you would like to speak English with a native speaker and practise in a community of English students.
We may have the answer for you here. I spoke to Alex of verbling.com and he explained how you can benefit from Verbling and improve, not only your speaking, but all aspects of your English. So here’s Alex with more details.
You can improve your listening with comprehension questions and find some help with difficult words from this interview at inglespodcast.com/alex

I ‘m student english is great for me is very importan
Hi George,
We can improve your sentence: “Studying English is great for me and it’s very important.” The verb “to study” is in the gerund (the -ing form) because it is the subject of the sentence.
Verbling Classes not longer available , they stop it on end of february 2016 . Verbling became very unfair last month to their students. they promised better reservation system for classes. I don’t trust them anymore.
Thanks for letting us know Marc. This is good information to pass on to students. We’ll be watching Verbling closely.
