Hey Jack! I’m happy you’ve finally taken part of this fantastic website. I’m pleased to have you here.
Thank you!
I’m a big fan 😉 of Jack’s websites and videos! He has his own style and I like it. Nice teacher.
Craig, I love these interviews!

Thanks, Elisa. I love doing them. I wish I had more time because there are so many interesting people that I’d like to talk to. I have got 2 great guests planned for January next year, but I can’t tell you who they are yet! Have a great Christmas holiday up there in Finland, and stay warm 🙂
I don’t understand the subject that they transmit. This is a interviw very long for alone ten answers.
Hi Martha,
It is a long interview! Maybe you could begin with shorter listenings on our website La Mansón del Inglés. Here is a good place to start: http://www.mansioningles.com/listening00.htm
