hello I’m Sanghwa Jung
Hello, Sanghwa! Welcome to Culips 🙂
Did you enjoy this episode?
Hello Andrew and Kasey! I cannot thank you enough for your awesome podcast! It has been about two years that I’ve come to the US to pursue my PhD in Genetics. However, I was born and raised in iran, and speaking is still challenging to me. I do really want to sound like a native speaker in the near future to be successful in my career after graduation. I’m sure your program will definitely boost my english to be a superior teaching assistant for my undergrad students as well! BTW, my name is Azin and is pronounced like Ozzy! You guys are simply amazing! Thanks!
Hi Azin,
Welcome to the Culips community. We’re stoked you’re here to learn with us and we’ll do our best to be as helpful as we can. Thanks!
Hello Andrew and Kassy, I want to thank you guys, I’m so happy to became a member of the Culips, I’ve been listening you on the podcast for a long time, and I could improve my listen abilities day by day. I think you guys are the best teachers. I highly recommend you for all my friends.
That’s so awesome to hear. Thanks so much for the kind words and for learning with us!
Another great episode. These are super useful expressions. Thanks!
