Café con acento  - Entrevista a Julius 1 (Finlandia) 

In this episode, I read a simplified version of Mikhail Zoshchenko’s short story “Жених” — a funny and ironic story about work, social expectations, and human vanity.
Together, we’ll listen to the story, talk about some interesting expressions, and explore Zoshchenko’s unique humor and vivid language.

This episode is great for intermediate learners (B1–B2) who want to improve their listening skills.

A common mistake is to use the collocation "more easier" but this is a mistake. So, let's explore some ways that we can do this correctly. I hope you find today's podcast useful!
