So I was reading the final version of my blog article of the same name. And I thought to myself, "Hey, this would be a great podcast episode!

I'm answering Kristine's question via email this week. Kristine asks: "Right now, I'm trying to manage growing pains. I have students/clients information in different locations (spreadsheets, Teachable, Mailchimp), and I want to find a centralized place to manage students' contact information securely as well as manage all the touchpoints I have had with students (lessons, communication, surveys, promotions, etc.) Can you recommend a method for achieving this? Perhaps a free or paid CRM program?"

Welcome back to Teach Languages Online! I'm answering Moksee's question from the Teach Languages Online Facebook Group this week. Moksee asks: "How can I make vocabulary audio homework more interesting and engaging? I'm trying to create a vocabulary (kitchen vocab theme) audio for my students, I don't want to have it the traditional word per word translation, it's so boring, I was thinking of making it more of story instead, where students learn vocab through a story, what do you think?"
