Hey there everyone, how is it going? My name's Andrew and you are listening to the

Kulips English podcast. Thanks for pressing play on this episode and joining me

today for another English study session.

It's great to kick off a new week with you this way.

I'm an English teacher from Canada, but I'm currently living in South Korea, and here at

Kuleps, my team and I, we make audio lessons for intermediate and advanced learners

that are designed to develop your English
