Hi everybody this is Hoyle Sarate in this brief message I want to let you know

that I am taking a break until the end of August or the first week of September. I usually take June and July off to spend time

with family and friends and prepare new episodes across the podcast.

However, this year, 2024 at the end of July,

I'm having a surgery

and I might need a couple of weeks to get things ready for it and a few weeks to recover.

I suffer from a rare ear illness and the surgery is hopefully going to help me with that.

But I might need physical therapy after that, so I'm giving myself enough time to recover. I also suffer from a

condition called chronic tenitis which is a ringing sound that I permanently hear.

According to the American Tenitis Association, about 10% of adult Americans suffer from some level of tainitus from very mild to very severe

and debilitating.

Mine is very loud and affects my short-term memory, my ability to focus and concentrate, and it is like

being sleep deprived permanently.

And the reason why I am sharing this with you guys

is because some of you have email me

or message me to tell me about errors I made like forgetting to leave

the link to a transcript on a given episode or having an incorrect link and taking you to a different transcript that corresponds to another episode,

some misspellings and little things like that that some of you have found.

So if you find mistakes like that, please let me know and I'll fix it.

With your help, I can fix it. With your help I can iron out those mistakes and I do appreciate

when you tell me and help me to polish what I create for you to learn Spanish. Now since the podcast keep growing, I'm getting

more messages and emails and I don't have a team to help me to manage all of that.
