WELCOME TO SEASON 3! For those of you who are probably just tuning in for the first time, please make sure you check the blog I posted last night in terms of highlighting what I’ve already done in Season 2. This season, which is the Intermediate season, will be a little more difficult. I will speak faster than before and will talk about some pretty difficult things, so if it’s your first time, I recommend going on Spotify and choose the option (first episode) instead of the most recent. Go from the Elementary level and work your way up.
