It’s really funny stroy and I also learned the American culture through your text in which helps me improve my reading skill day by day. I have to admit that I am not a primium member that someone pay for this podcat of your website but I just listen to your nice voice with almost perfect transcript in the podcast for a long time. I love to visit your space where you guys how to work there If possible. Actually I have an oppotunity to go there CA. next month. I have listened to this podcast over 1year. And while I visit here, I got a confidence of English through you guys. My testimonial seems not fit here today. But Don’t get me wrong, everybody! I am not kinds of person who assist for money^^.

Hi, Jeff
In your blog Jan,3 you told that it is the most popular sporting event of the year, watched by close to 80 million people, but, you know what, a NBA game, in which Yao and Yi played, two Chinese basketplayers, attracted many people’s attention, which is as two times as that of watching Super Bowl. I, a Chinese guy, am so proud of that.
And could you pls talk somthing about NBA’s history, because of my lack of it.

Hi Jeff.

I would like to know the rules of this game. Right now I’m watching it. I´m in Mexico and I hope they show the US commercials as well.
I can´t understand the game but Im anxious to see the halftime show and also those commercials.

Dear Jeff,
I really appreciated your description about the Super Bowl.. and your personal ’strategy’ facing the event. It reminds me while people here was whatcing the football (soccer) world championship.. the streets were pretty empty and silent (very odd, good photo Op isn’t it?) and I used to enjoy a good motorbike ride and a better, relaxed, meal. Time to slow down. So, well done Jeff!!! Let’s people have fun whatcing the game and leaving the field for calm eaters!! At least untill we’re speaking abuot freedom in our countries.
God bless freedom.

Thanks for having me writing here.

Thanks to all the ESL staff.

Dear Jeff
It seems we are alike. Although I am a sport teacher I prefer having a good meal to watching popular sports. To tell the truth, I thought Americans weren’t used to enjoying a meal and sharing this pleasure with friends or between lovers.
In France, things have changed. Fast food is becoming more and more popular by the new generation.
Thank both of you for your wonderful podcast
