Hey everyone, my name's Andrew and this is the Culeps English podcast.

Thank you for joining me for another English study session.

Let's do it, everyone. Are you ready? I'm really happy that you decided to press play on this episode and put in some time and effort and work toward improving your English, improving your life and getting closer to your goals for the English language.

For those of you who are new here or who don't know me, I'm an English teacher who's originally from Canada but now I live in Seoul South Korea

with my wife and my dog Pinky and here at Kuleps we make audio lessons for intermediate and advanced English learners that are designed

to teach you real and natural English and to improve your communication skills and your

cultural knowledge of the culture of English speaking people.

Each week on Monday morning I release a short bonus episode and that's what you're listening to right now. And in these bonus

episodes I share some updates about what's going on in my life and I also

teach you a useful expression. The transcript for the bonus episode is completely free and it can be

downloaded just by clicking the link in the description for this episode or by visiting our website which is QLips.com. So guys how is it going?

I hope you had a nice weekend and a good week last week. Are you ready to take on another brand new week?

If you're wondering about me, I'm doing pretty well. Last Monday I went on an epic bike ride that was really

really fun and really awesome. It seems like the rainy season in Korea here has finally come to an end and we've been having some really hot but really nice and really sunny weather.

So last week on Monday after waking up I just knew that I had to get out there and go for a ride.

I felt that call, that itch, that desire to get out there and go for a ride.

Many of you know this, but I work as an English instructor, that's my job,

but the school that I work at is on summer break right now and as a result of that so am I.

So it's beautiful. I have some free time these days and I was able to get out and ride on a Monday,

which I realize is something kind of special.

A lot of people have to work on Monday,

but I didn't have to,
