Hi Ariel, I just wanted to say I love your creative way of teaching English. I really enjoyed this episode, just like the others. The story about the woman whose mind is racing and how she settles it by running was exciting. It was a bit weird for me, but I felt kind of connected to it. Wishing you all the best!
