    Thinking in English

    Thinking in English is a podcast for intermediate and advanced English learners who want to do more than just study grammar and vocabulary.

    I believe that thinking is one of the most important steps on the road to fluency. That’s why each episode explores fascinating topics, from politics, economics, and history to philosophy, science, and culture.

    Instead of simply learning English, this podcast helps you learn in English. You’ll expand your knowledge, discover new ideas, and improve your language skills, all at the same time.
