English Success Story: Interview with Massimo from Italy

This is the 3^rd episode of English the Smart Way podcast! Plus, this is the first interview on the show! :) Interview with my very good friend Massimo who is a successful English speaker.

Let’s listen and learn from his experience with English learning. :)

Btw, the interview is around 38 minutes, so if you have a tea or coffee, grab it, relax and enjoy English. ;)

Also, feel free to  the interview to your MP3 player or mobile phone to listen to it while on the go.

Important Note: Please be aware that we – me and Massimo – are not native English speakers and we made some grammar mistakes during the interview.

When I write articles, it’s easy to correct the text before I publish it, but interview is a bit different – I can’t just go back and fix all mistakes. :) I hope you will enjoy the interview anyways. :)

This is the real authentic interview! ;)

The first 6 minutes are dedicated to Massimo’s introduction. After that, the English interview questions begin.
