00:01:30
We could discuss things together over Skype or just over whatsapp or by by writing emails. But its basically all about expressing our opinions likes dislikes etc. and also of course improving our target language. And in addition of that I thought that I could probably publishmy experience or our experience with this book club And in addition of that I thought that I could probably publishmy experience or our experience with this book club in one of my future episodes.

It’s a certain novel by American author Cho Hill and the book basically focuses on a woman trying to save her son from a vicious supernatural killer who has set his sights on him.

But I also learn French and Spanish as well. But in these languages I must admit my vocabulary is not that extended. And therefore I won’t be able to catch up with you!
