从早上5点50准备好老公的早餐以后就一直坐在书桌前记璐璐老师的笔记,今天我比较有“野心”,补了十期笔记,现在终于补完了!微型小说等会儿坐地铁的时候听吧。I simply take to your podcast. You reignited my passion for English and other languages as well. And I have recommended your show to all the students i am teaching right now. 希望这次在学生评教的时候不要有学生吐槽我上课经常提让他们去听璐璐英文小酒馆的事😁😁😁

璐璐这里谈到了英式英语和美式英语的差别中语法的差别包括集合名词,助动词和一般过去时。能否有一期节目专门来讲一下英式英语和美式英语语法上的差异呢?
