In October 2023, I had a second conversation with Jay Matwichuk, who is a friend and computer coder working in Canada. He is a father and health-conscious guy who has also lived in Australia and Japan. Here is that interview.

EASY ENGLISH GRAMMAR POINT for EPISODE #7

For today’s episode, please use the interviews as a review of the grammar points covered in the first six episodes.

EASY ENGLISH USAGE POINT for EPISODE #7

The second thing I would like to focus on in today’s interview is how to ask about words we don’t know or have forgotten.

For example:

“What would we say in English for _______”

or

“Sorry, how do you say _______ in English?”

So now, sit back, relax, and enjoy this interview with Jay.
