Help! I have a grammar question!
Questions are great! Unfortunately, we focus on conversations and listening practice at Dialogue Frog. Grammar is very important but it is not the focus of our podcast.
If you have a grammar question while listening to Dialogue Frog, try asking your friends on social media. If you are taking English classes, try asking your teacher or tutor. You can also post your question in a community of native English speakers or English learners on language exchange websites or applications.
What's up with the name Dialogue Frog?
The ending sound of the word ‘dialogue’ rhymes with the word ‘frog.’ We felt this play on words suited the short and sometimes silly nature of a Dialogue Frog conversation.
You can thank Luke for the name. 🙂
