Your Help Center for Intermediate English
My name is Aaron. I am an English as a Second Language (ESL) educator with a certificate in TESOL and a decade of teaching experience in classrooms across Asia and South America. In addition, I have taught hundreds of adults online since 2018.
I created the Aandego Podcast and the Aandego blog specifically to answer the most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) from intermediate English students.
Aandego is designed with intermediate speakers in mind, to help them soar up the mountain to the advanced level. I want to be the wind beneath your wings, that extra push you need on a tough day.
50 episodes teaching Intermediate English (B1/B2) topics are already available! Follow and listen on Spotify.

What resources are available for ESL learners?
We currently offer the Aandego Podcast, a way to improve listening skills and learn new words and concepts. Aaron chose to focus on the topics his students asked the most about. Thus, Aandego turns its gaze towards Travel English, Professional English, tips for better learning, and motivation for when things get tough.
How can I improve my English effectively?
To improve your speaking skills, you should converse, read, write, and listen. These days, listening is the most underrated skill, honestly. Millions of people only know how to talk past each other, and that needs to change if the world’s ever going to move forward.
Why was the Aandego podcast founded?
Aaron noticed that there were very few resources on the internet available to intermediate and advanced learners of the English language. Most of the apps are strictly for beginners. Aaron ended up creating a lot of his own materials and audios for his own students, and that eventually grew into the Aandego Podcast. His students have urged him along at every step of the way. Aaron thanks them for acting as a solid anchor of support.
