  • Thanks!

    I appreciate the work you put into the podcast and I get great use out of it! Could you summarize the PET Cambridge Exam, so go over all parts in one episode? I’m going to take it in March next year.

    Also, would it be possible to give me feedback on my writing, spelling, grammar etc. ? I’ve never had anyone rate my English level before.
