Hi Craig
These interview-episodes are really good, I enjoy them a lot. They are absolutely helpful and nice to listen to.
Actually I had heard about the iTalki-site, but had never visited there before. Now I’ve been reading those ‘Articles’ few hours 🙂 really worth visiting, good stuff!
Thanks
Thanks Elisa:-)

I am listening to your interviews and answering the questions but I think that I am losing my listening skill because in this interview with Kevin Chen is possible that they talk only about some of the questions included soit it is impossible to answer them?.
Thanks for your podcasts
Hi Sergio,
This is one of the more difficult interviews to understand. Try listening again, maybe three of four times. It should be a bit easier each time. Also, try this interview with Richard and Linda. I think it is a little easier: https://inglespodcast.com/2015/11/30/mansion-interviews-richard-and-linda/
