  Hi there.

  Welcome back.

  This is Harry with our podcast where I try to help you to improve your understanding and level of English so you can enjoy conversations with native and non native speakers at a level that you feel comfortable with.

  So what have I got for you now?

• 00:25

  First or firstly and finally.
