Lovely New People!

This is the first day of your life as a Naked Snail! Congratulations!

Quick REMINDER: there’s NO SUCH THINGS AS a "naked snail" in English—it's actually called a SLUG. Not a SLUT! (Totally different thing, I promise.) If you’re unsure about that TERM, I RECOMMEND a quick look in the dictionary or THESAURUS, just to avoid any accidental CONFUSION. 😉

Now, as your welcome gift, I’ve prepared your very first Juggle-Jiggle audio file! 🎧 (You'll find it below.)

But what exactly is a Juggle-Jiggle? Or maybe a Jiggle-Juggle? It’s the name I have given to my daily lessons: audio files, readings, fun topics to practice with. We JUGGLE and JIGGLE with the English language.

If you’re unsure about the meaning of those two words, no worries—you’ll get the full explanation in the audio. It’s only 11 minutes long. Come on, let’s go! You can listen while you’re walking, biking, COMMUTING, washing dishes, cooking, or doing laundry. Pick a time right now to fit it in. When will you listen? Decide now!

Enjoy your first day! 😉
