| 0:00.0 | Hello, this episode of the podcast is sponsored by I Talkie, which is a really useful and |
| 0:06.0 | convenient service which you can use to get some English speaking into your life as regularly |
| 0:11.4 | as you want. Basically the way it works is that you sign up with |
| 0:14.9 | i Talkie and you kind of search through all the teachers and community tutors |

| 1:04.0 | And generally that's a cheaper option as well. |
| 1:07.4 | So you know, check out I-talkie. |
| 1:09.4 | It can be a really good way of pushing your fluency, engaging in regular communication, which is just really, really |
| 1:14.8 | important and useful for taking your English further and further. |
| 1:20.1 | And don't forget that if you use my offer, |
| 1:23.0 | I Talkie will send you a voucher which is equivalent to about $10, |
