We’re going fishing in today’s podcast. Fishing is a topic we haven’t tackled yet!
Keep listening and you’ll learn lots of useful vocabulary and expressions connected to the world of fishing.
Patreon update: There has been an increase in the minimum donation amount to $3, and to $4.41 for iPhone users who sign up via the iPhone app on IOS. This extra Apple charge only affects new Patreon subscribers on IOS
It’s complicated to change from Patreon to a different platform, so we’re staying with them for now.
To add more value, I’ll be organising Zoom meet-ups for current and new Patreon subscribers so that you can practice your speaking and ask any questions you might have about English. These impromptu meetups will start this month and all Patreon subscribers will get a Zoom link with the date and time of the meetup via Patreon (email)
