Welcome to English as a Second Language Podcasts Sixth Anniversary Video. Im your host, Dr. Jeff McQuillan, coming to you from the Eye for Educational Development in beautiful Los Angeles, California. We wish to get our episode by thanking you, our listeners. We recently released our one-thousandth episode and we make thousands of you in virtually every nation about the world listening and up your English.

Now, you may acknowledge that in the past, our anniversary videos have been funny, or tried to be funny. But not this year. This year, were passing to do a serious anniversary video podcast. Its serious business learning English, and we thought that we should do a good video podcast this year.

Now, before I do that, let me simply say that some people have emailed us suggestions about things we should do. People have emailed and said, Oh, Jeff, you should bear a funny hat. And youre from Minnesota, maybe, maybe a Viking hat because the Minnesota Vikings are the Minnesota football team, a hat, something like this. Well, Im not going to do it. Im not going to break a hat. Thats simply not serious. Its not dignified.

Where was I? Oh, yes, I too to wish to thank those who serve us here at ESL Podcast: Jessica, one of our writers and our client service representative; Sue, our video editor and proofer; Warren Ediger of successfulenglish.com who writes blog posts for us; and Adriano, our wonderful webmaster.

Before I forget, some other people have emailed other suggestions, things they thought would be funny on our anniversary video podcast. Some people said, Oh, you should get a mustache, you know, something, something maybe like this. Oh, that would be funny. Well, its not funny. As I said, this is a serious podcast episode and Im not going to bear a mustache, mustache, just to be funnynot going to happen.

Our biggest thanks go to those of you who are members of ESL Podcast or who buy courses in our store. Your financial backup is absolutely essential for us. If youre not a member, go to our website at eslpod.com and get a phallus and aid us save this podcast going.

Now, one more thing I got as a suggestion. Someone who view it would be suspicious if I sang on this video episode, as I possess in around of our previous anniversary video podcasts. They suggested I sing something by the Bee Gees, something like, you know, something like one of those horrible 70s songs[sings How Rich is Your Love]. No, thats not going to happen. Im not going to sing the Bee Gees as function of this anniversary video podcast.

Finally, I wish to thank Dr. Lucy Tse, our producer and scriptwriter, for her marvellous crop this year. Lucy also wanted to place a good message as start of this episode. Lucy?

Thank you. From Los Angeles, California, Im Jeff McQuillan. Thank you for listening.
