Today Mansion Interviews Mónica Stocker from El Blog Para Aprender Inglés and EBPAI.com.
This is an unusual interview. Actually, it’s not really an interview, you’re going to listen to Mónica and I just chatting and having a conversation.
I always have a list of questions to ask my guests, but although I’d never spoken to Mónica before, as soon as we connected on Skype we started chatting and after about half an hour, Mónica said, “Are you recording this?”
Luckily I was recording, but I was enjoying the conversation so much that I completely forgot I was doing an interview, and that’s never happened to me before.
Before you listen to us, remember that there are comprehension questions for you to answer as you’re listening, and there are translations of some of the more difficult vocabulary at inglespodcast.com/monica.
So, Mónica has a YouTube channel, at Mónica Stocker, where you can find some excellent videos to help you improve your English. But she stopped making videos a couple of years ago and has just recently started making them again.
I asked her why she stopped…….

Hi Craig & Mónica
Wow! Amazing, enjoyable conversation! Wonderful Lady, so full of beans, really. And think about, life can be both challenging and surprising. Sometimes you fail but another time you will succeed 😉
I do love these interviews! Huge pleasure to listen to them.. again and again 🙂

Thank you Elisa! It was a lot of fun interviewing Mónica, and now we are becoming good online friends.
.. but one should be careful because it’s been said (some studies, really) that
‘ online friends make your life better ‘ 🙂 wow, that’s a huge risk!
Anyway, I listened the episode for the second time and I got 7/8… so I’m going to continue listening … Absolutely the best way to practice your listening comprehension both with native- and non-native speaker.
All the best

Thanks for listening, Joel.
I didn’t anything …too fast
