Thinking in English

Thomas Wilkinson

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.

Bonus episodes and ad-free episodes, exclusive for Patreon subscribers: https://www.patreon.com/coll...
