Quick Note!!

Good morning/afternoon, everyone! I hope that you are all healthy and staying safe with your families. I also hope that you are continuing to find new ways to have fun, stay active, and practice your English, too! Find a new English TV series (with subtitles), a book of your level, or some new music to help you learn and enjoy at the same time. I miss all of you very much and can’t wait to see all of your smiling faces soon!
