Transcript: This week is a bit special because it is Spring Offer, and all my premium courses have a 60% discount. I've received several messages with&nbsp;questions about the courses. I will try to answer some&nbsp;frequently asked questions in this short episode. By the way, you can get the offer at:  Hurry up because the offer is only available until this Sunday at midnight. Let's start with the most frequently asked question: 1) What is the difference between the podcast and the premium courses? That's a great question! In the&nbsp;podcast, I talk about very diverse topics to&nbsp;improve your vocabulary.&nbsp;It's a great&nbsp;listening practice.&nbsp; I also give a&nbsp;small example of a lesson&nbsp;in each podcast episode. It can be a&nbsp;mini-story&nbsp;of questions and answers or a&nbsp;point of view.&nbsp;Because of time limitations, I can barely develop these lessons, yet they allow you to test the method that I use in my premium courses in an easy and fun way. Instead, the premium courses are&nbsp;complete programs&nbsp;designed to improve your&nbsp;spoken English&nbsp;dramatically. These are&nbsp;conversation&nbsp;courses. You start speaking from DAY ONE with the&nbsp;conversation simulator. They are&nbsp;audio lessons&nbsp;that&nbsp;"simulate" conversations. I call them Q&amp;A mini-stories. Unlike the podcast, the premium courses contain hours and hours of questions and answers. Imagine for a moment a podcast episode multiplied by 100. Also, the courses allow you to&nbsp;work much better on grammar aspects&nbsp;such as the plural, singular, all kinds of verb tenses, and certain common expressions of English. All of this unfolds in an interactive way, following one or more stories that provide a rich and entertaining context. For example, the  contains more than 8 hours of audio, thousands of questions and answers (mini-stories),&nbsp;and almost 200 pages of transcription text. Of course, there are also many&nbsp;point-of-view lessons that allow you to&nbsp;work very intensely on aspects of grammar. One rule I always follow is to create lessons with complex characters and funny stories with unexpected endings. That way, you'll never forget what you learn best and, of course, it's a lot more fun. Another question: 2) Can I use the premium courses on the iPhone, iPad, Android, and so on? Yes, of course. You can use them without problems. It is important to keep in mind that&nbsp;the courses are not apps.&nbsp;That is, you don't install them. It's much more flexible. The courses consist of mp3 audio and text (PDF). This is much simpler and prevents technical problems. Transferring the content to any device is quite easy. However, when you buy one of the courses, I send you detailed steps to know what to do. In any case, you can contact me by e-mail with any questions. 3) Is there a monthly payment for the premium courses? No, there is no such thing. They are yours for&nbsp;personal use&nbsp;and forever when you buy the courses. 4) How many premium  are there, and what is the difference? There are currently four courses. I will describe them briefly: 1)  (level 1): This course is for beginners with no knowledge of English. It is a course that works very well, and I am happy with the result because it helps a lot to start with English. In your case, I don't recommend it because if you are a follower of this podcast, you are no longer a beginner. 2)  (level 2):&nbsp; The level of this course is a bit easier than this podcast, but there is almost no difference. This program will help you automate the most common structures when speaking. It consists of 20 units with 20 unique and fun stories. I recommend this course if you're trying to stop mentally translating when you speak English, even with relatively easy expressions. &nbsp; 3)  (level 3): This course is very ambitious because it goes one step beyond the Fluency Course. The aim is to practice all the verb tenses in the context of a long and well-developed...
