Kuli English Podcast
In this podcast, I avoid using very hard words, and try to tell interesting stories with my easy-to-understand native English! I made this podcast so that English learners can have fun listening and learning while doing other things (like washing the dishes or doing laundry).
Please listen to it if you think it might be fun or useful to you! New episodes will release every Tuesday.
