*2024-12-12, version 4.9.7*

Thank you for your hard and daily work. I’m immigrant, came to the United States 2 years ago. I didn’t English before just simple stuff. First I took English classes in local Core English school and then got my first real job. I was a truck driver and every day I listened your podcasts. After 14 months I changed my job and now I work in office in American company. It’s still hard for me working with English speakers every day and talk a lot per day. But I still learn language with you. Usually listen podcasts during drive to work and back to home. Your project helped me a lot and continues to do that. Thank you again! For your support I bought subscription and share with my friends about your podcast and app. I wish growing up and still doing this amazing stuff.
