  • Your podcast helped me pass my oral exam

    Dear Shana,

    you’ll probably never see this review but I wanted to thank you for all the effort you put into this podcast. I started a few months ago and now I am at episode 150. Whenever you talked I always tried to imitate you in order to improve my pronunciation and get rid of my German accent. And guess what? Today I passed my Spoken English oral exam! Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
