Thanks for the new episodes
Eslpod you are the pinnacle of awesome! 🙂
Well, Lucy,
I’ve heard of this language “Pig Latin.”
And I also learned that it is a secret language used by native English speakers.
I’m not sure if one of you uses it or whether it is still in use among native speakers or used in your US.
Anyway, to jazz things up, let you me send my “Thank You” message through it? Well, here it goes:
O-say uch-may anks-thay Ucy-lay or-fay our-yay ew-nay ods-pay.
Ou-yay all-ay ave-hay always-ay ocked-ray y-may orld-way!
Sort of exciting! ….. Emm?
Oh ya! I almost forget, Lucy,
You don’t ask me to read aloud that “Pig Latin” to you. Because I can’t! 🙂
Jeff’s teaching technique has given the program a global audience and the ability to touches the life many with all the sincerity ,and integrity.
Thanks Eslpod and above all Jeff for orchestrating such intercity so methodically.
