[00:00:00] Hello Thinking in English listeners.
[00:00:02] This is Tom, host of the Thinking in English podcast, and I’m here to bring two important messages. First, hope you’re all having a great holiday period.
[00:00:14] Whether you celebrate Christmas or you’re looking forward to New Year, I hope you have all had a wonderful time.
[00:00:22] The Thinking in English community is very important to me. I care a lot about you guys, so I hope you’ve had a good winter period and you’re looking forward to 2024 and continuing to listen to Thinking in English, but also, most importantly, reach your goals in learning languages next year.
[00:00:44] And the second important message I have is that if you’re interested in joining my Patreon membership, my Patreon subscription, I’d recommend doing it now.
[00:00:56] This episode will be deleted in two or three days because in January, I’m going to increase the prices of some, maybe all of my Patreon tiers.
[00:01:09] But definitely the two cheapest levels, the English listener level, which is currently 4 GBP will increase by 25 percent to £5.
[00:01:21] English listeners are able to listen to bonus Thinking in English episodes.
[00:01:26] There’s probably over 70. Bonus, extra episodes available on Patreon. Also able to listen to them on Spotify or any app you enjoy, or on the website I have. So you can listen in a variety of different places.
[00:01:41] There’s also interactive transcripts for English listeners and you can join our Discord server for chatting.
[00:01:47] And then the second level, the English learner level, will also increase in price by 25%.
[00:01:53] It’s currently £8, it will go up to £10. I guess that’s about 12 US dollars it will become next year.
[00:02:00] And English learners can join our conversation clubs and film clubs and any other event we have on the Discord server.
[00:02:08] I’m increasing prices so that I can afford to pay more tutors going forward and run more sessions going forward.
[00:02:15] And also, they were very cheap in the first place and I definitely undervalued, underpriced what I’m offering everyone.
[00:02:22] Because even now, even with a 25 percent price increase, it’s still cheaper than most of the Podcast subscriptions out there.
[00:02:31] Five pounds or ten pounds is still very affordable and I hope if you’re interested in taking part in conversation clubs, if you’re interested in listening to extra episodes or you just really like thinking in English and you want to support me , please consider becoming a patreon subscriber and joining now.
[00:02:52] Because if you join now if you join in december you can get the cheaper price. You will continue paying that cheaper price forever until you choose to quit or upgrade.
[00:03:04] And if you really want to save money and you really want to help me as well actually you can pay for an annual membership, get 15 percent extra off on top of that cheaper price.
[00:03:16] Go over to Patreon and sign up, become a Patreon supporter, and really take your English studying to the next level next year.
[00:03:26] Like I said, if you’re listening to this, you’re very dedicated because this message will only be available for a few days on Spotify and then it will be deleted.
[00:03:35] Have a wonderful holiday period.
[00:03:39] Have a good New Year and I will see you all on January 1st with the first episode of 2024 Thinking in English.
[00:03:49] Thank you and goodbye.
