  • 每期都非常棒,拿来练英语太舒服了

    每期都为大家选择一个现代爱情的某一方面的内容作为主题,主播声音舒服悦耳,节目质量很棒,作为英语学习的资料非常棒,话题贴近生活和真实,内容不会像英语学习资料一样为了做资料而做资料。结合平板的字幕功能和豆包的同声传译功能,相当于请了一个专业的雅思团队。推荐指数要不是只有5颗星,我能打得更高

  • Lindy West episode shouldn’t have aired

    So sad to hear a woman with low self-esteem try to convince herself that her husband‘s infidelity isn’t that bad. Sounds straight out of the 1950s. MODERN Love shouldn’t be giving a platform to this regressive view, at least not without challenging it.

  • Miss the stories

    I loved when the stories were read, followed by an interview. The interview alone is baseless and kind of boring.

  • Helena de Groot -so insightful

    Especially moving and insightful interview in so many ways: throws plenty of light on the song lyric/great understatement ‘Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman’. And on ‘Love hurts’ too. Thank you Helena de Groot and Ana Martin.
