  • Nice to hear your voice again Steve

    I was a fan of you when you were on EBS in Korea! I have been living in China for 14yrs, listening both Korea and China podcasts and clips! When your voice was on roundtable, I was like "Wait a sec... isn't it Steve..!?!?!"

    It is so amazing I still can hear you :) Hope you are doing well!

  • 很优秀的英文播客节目

    十年老粉,Roundtable是我一直坚持听的英文播客节目,这个节目做了这么长时间有自己成熟的模式,包括嘉宾的选择。没有人学英语是只听一个节目的,听Roundtable有两大优势:国内时事评论素材和对话/话题讨论类节目嘉宾间的互动,学口语表达和积累语料都是非常好的听力材料。所以,别纠结口音了,口语能力方方面面,口音只是很小的一个要素。
