Hey, Jessica, how are you feeling now that the app has been live for a day?
How are you feeling?
Oh, I'm feeling excited, guys.
Oh, guys, you are doing so well.
We have seen so many downloads you guys, but we want to encourage, if you have not by some reason weird chance not gotten the app yet, and I know a lot of you have but if you haven't, we have a very exciting reason why you should download this app.
Guys, we are having a contest, only available in this app, Lindsay.
What's the contest?
This is what we're calling our app launch contest.
It is so exciting because we are celebrating the launch of the All Ears English app version one guys,
This is going to be awesome.
First of all, I want to encourage you guys to go over and participate in this contest right now, because it's only going to be running this week.
Okay.
Oh, gosh.
Yeah.
This contest is going to end at the end of the week.
So you want to do this right now.
So what is this contest about, Jessica?
I mean, what can our listeners get if they win this contest?
Oh my God, you guys, this is so cool.
So if your name is chosen, we are going to randomly choose one name from everybody that's entered into this contest.
This lucky winner gets to have a 30-minute Skype date, if you will.
A 30-minute Skype session with me, one of us.
You can choose you guys.
It could be me, it could be Lindsay, it could be Michelle.
You guys get to choose who you want to personally meet on Skype for half an hour, for a full 30 minutes, just one on one, and it's Like really open what we can talk about, like what are some ideas that they could talk about with us?
Right.
So you guys can come to us with what you are struggling with.
Right.
If you you can talk about something as simple as maybe you have something basic about the language that you want to work on with us, you can do that.
Right.
Or if you are looking to build your confidence and you want to know how to do that, you can ask us and we can talk about how we can help you with that.
Okay?
Exactly.
I mean, it could be, you know, a vocab or grammar questions. sure, why not?
But I think something that Lindsay and I have been really excited about through the Urban Adventures program, through meeting more of you guys one-on-one, is helping you guys overcome your fear, overcoming the block, the personal block that's keeping you from where you are now into connecting in English.
So we, like, We could talk about that.
We could help you guys.
Oh, so cool.
And then if you guys have questions about life in the United States maybe you've traveled here and you're curious about something we can answer those questions for you.
And if you have questions about us, I mean, we do banter back and forth, right, on the podcast.
But, guys like, there's a lot of stuff that we don't you know, share on the show, because we're talking about English, not our like personal selves all the time.
So guys...
We're kind of open.
Like I would say we're very open people who just love to connect and communicate with others.
So I think it's an awesome opportunity for not being shy, for being very open as well with us.
Exactly.
So one lucky listener, one lucky app user, again one lucky contestant, lucky person that enters this contest is going to be randomly chosen and you are going to be able to choose again, like we said before, who you want to meet with.
Do you want to meet with Jessica, Michelle, or do you want to meet with me, with Lindsay?
And you are going to get to ask us anything you want.
Like you said, Jessica, I mean, you know, we are people, right?
So we don't always talk about that.
Maybe you guys are curious about how this podcast got started, right?
That's something we can talk about.
How do we record?
Why did we start this podcast?
How does it motivate us?
You can ask us anything.
Why are we doing this?
I get asked that a lot.
Do we really?
That's so funny.
I do.
Well, anybody who's not involved in English teaching and or podcasting is like confused.
Like how is...
Why do you do that?
How is that a job?
I don't get it.
So guys, I love talking about all of this.
Lindsay and Michelle do too.
So yeah, that would be a super fun conversation.
Exactly.
But Jessica, not everyone gets to participate in this contest.
I mean, what do we have to do to actually participate to know how to participate?
What do we have to do?
What's that one action we have to take?
Okay, well, first of all, you have to get the app.
Yes.
So go to the App Store, guys.
Search for All Ears English Listening, okay?
Get our special app and review it while you're there, by the way.
Yep.
So just get the app, guys.
This will be in the bonus episode section.
The link will be there.
Super easy, guys.
All you have to do is click on the link, and that will send you directly to how you can get your name in this contest.
Super easy.
Yep.
Yep.
You won't be able to click on it.
So you'll need to listen to the episode.
So we'll just we'll make an episode.
That's OK.
That's OK.
Unfortunately, right now we can't click on it, but we can listen and we'll tell you where to go.
But again, you're not going to find out where to go just through this podcast in your podcast player.
You need to listen inside the app.
OK, that's the key right there.
Got it.
That's okay.
So I'll scratch what I said earlier.
Not a link, guys.
Listen to the super short bonus episode that we are recording with the link.
There you go.
Yeah, you got it.
You got it.
Exactly.
And the cool thing about the app guys, is that we have all this bonus content that we mentioned yesterday.
Bonus video lessons hot spots Portland, hot spots New York City where Jessica Michelle, they take you around their cities and they show you different things, like the best place to get doughnuts.
Oh, guys, I remember recording the video that day and it was so fun.
I mean, the owner of the store was like super excited.
He was from Mexico and he's like, you're an English teacher.
That's so cool.
And so I had like an awesome conversation with him.
He gave me a donut.
And then I got to record the lesson for you guys with specific language that you can use about this situation.
It's so fun.
Oh, that is so cool.
That's so cool.
So you guys, I mean, we don't do a lot of video.
Like we said before, we don't do a lot of video on this podcast.
So you get a chance to see us on video, which is rare.
And those lessons are only inside the app.
So what you guys want to do is you want to download it and then you want to start listening to the episodes inside the app.
Monday Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday.
We'll be publishing in there and then we'll be randomly publishing a couple of video lessons every week.
Perfect.
Awesome.
