(**Note that the podcast begins as "The English With Michael Podcast", but later on changes to "The Level Up English Podcast")***Hello and welcome to ****The Level Up English.***Hello and welcome to the first-ever episode.This is an introductory episode so I thought I could take some time to tell you about who I am and what to expect from this podcast.So my name is **Michael Lavers. **I'm an **online ESL teacher - **that is, people learning English as a Second Language.I'm from a city called Plymouth in the United Kingdom.I have taught thousands of lessons online with students from all around the world, all difference countries, from ages 4 to 80. But maybe we could talk about **why I want to make a podcast. **I love helping people improve their English, but, there's only so much I can do in one day. I have a lot of questions online, on my website, on social media, asking for help, but unfortunately I can't help everyone.So I thought a podcast would be a great way to reach more people and, hopefully, help people improve their English, and also British English.I love podcasts! I listen to several hours of podcasts every day, so I think it's a really good way to learn no matter how busy you are.I'm really passionate about helping people and I think podcasts are a good way to do that.So let's talk about **what you can expect in this podcast.**A usual episode might include me:

• answering your questions 
• providing some advice on how to learn English
• maybe sometimes we can talk about grammar and vocabulary (but in a fun way)
• in the future I may do some interviews as well (I've never done that before so we'll have to see how it goes, but that's something I would be very interested in trying)
