May Recap

This month I tried a new format with my blog and it has been very successful!

Each week begins with a new listening and pronunciation video. Then, each post for the rest of the week explains or relates to something that I said in the video.

Thank you everyone for checking out my blog! I hope you continue to enjoy it, and I hope you continue to find it useful. If you haven’t done so already, remember to ‘subscribe’ or ‘follow’ my blog [if you have a Blogger profile] so you can get my new posts as soon as they’re published.
