Hello, lovely, I'm Maria.

0:06.5

And my name is Rory and we're the host of the AILT Speaking Per Success podcast.

0:10.1

The podcast that aims to help you improve your speaking skills as well as your listening skills along the way.

Have you ever forgotten to pay a bill?

1:27.4

Oh, wow, I probably shouldn't share this too freely

1:30.2

because I might get in trouble, but I haven't paid my gym membership for the last three weeks

1:42.4

1:49.6
