This is a great podcast! So methodical, well-structured, and organized! I like how you’ve developed the podcast in bite-sized lessons. This is ingenious! Your calm voice and positive spirit radiate through the episodes! Well-done! Keep it up and thank you so much, Shayna!

Shayna is a great teacher. English learners love her! You will learn a lot with Espresso English's clear and practical tips.

Alamea123 · Feb 2015

Not only does Shayna seriously have the best voice for a podcast… the lessons are short, actionable, and very easy to digest at one time. No 30 or 60+ minute lessons here that I’m too busy for anyway.
