English Success Story: Interview with Massimo from Italy

This is the 3^rd episode of English the Smart Way podcast! Plus, this is the first interview on the show! Interview with my very good friend Massimo who is a successful English speaker.

Let’s listen and learn from his experience with English learning.

Btw, the interview is around 38 minutes, so if you have a tea or coffee, grab it, relax and enjoy English. 

Also, feel free to download the interview to your MP3 player or mobile phone to listen to it while on the go.

Important Note: Please be aware that we – me and Massimo – are not native English speakers and we made some grammar mistakes during the interview.

When I write articles, it’s easy to correct the text before I publish it, but interview is a bit different – I can’t just go back and fix all mistakes. I hope you will enjoy the interview anyways.
