Now Introducing ✨
Welcome to the first edition of the Andy Explains English podcast.
My name, surprisingly, is Andy, and I'm a language coach. I'm passionate about effective, precise communication, and I love understanding the sub-structures that give meaning to the words and grammar that we all use every day as soon as we open our mouths to speak.
In this first episode:
I give you an introduction to the way that I think about language
The way I teach
A useful technique you can use to redefine any word for your own purposes
And of course, some personal things about myself
