¿Estás buscando recursos para aprender inglés gratis? No te pierdas este episodio en el que David y yo hablamos de un montón de recursos, unos muy conocidos, pero otros no tanto. Seguro que te son muy útiles. No te lo pierdas.
Como en otras ocasiones, te recomiendo que, antes de escuchar leas el vocabulario de abajo para que no te pierdas en el audio, sobre todo si tu nivel de inglés no es muy alto.
