Let's Shoot the Breeze!

It's March and I could not be happier to have a new podcast for you all. Tonight I had the chance to chat with GEC member Steve Yang who lives in China. If anyone else would like to find me search for GenkiEnglishClub on Skype.com. You can also email me at genkienglishclub@gmail.com if you have any comments or questions.
