Dear Jeff,

Happy birth day to you, I am from Egypt and we are close to the same age, definitely not 29th, I know the exact age, any way I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and Dr. lucy you are doing great job.

Best wishes to you

Dear Dr.Jeff
Happy birthday to you,although it’s a late bless.Thank you and Dr.Lucy for providing us so many useful podcast. I remember that in some English Cafe, you have told us something about your family and your childhood.So obviously 29 is not your age. Anyway,wish you happiness.
Hope your website would have more audience and be more prosperous in the future.

Hi Jeff,

I was wondering to send you a birthday song as a present (since I don’t have a lovely voice) but I am afraid that it will scare you away… So I decided to write them instead of singing!

Happy Birthday to yoU,
Happy Birthday to yOU,
Happy Birthday to dear JEFF,
Happy Birthday to YOU!!!

It is great to have ESL podcast, it really lights up my life and has become part of my life!

Best regards,
Sam Liu San Chuen

Yes, you are celebrating 15 years your 29th birthday, that’s great and I think it is true when I listen to your podcast and your good sense of humor day by day.

Please, continue this celebration every year as I think that all of us need you so much to improve our english and more important to have a good friend who tell us many funny things.

Thank you so much Jeff and Lucy……..the best teachers of english I have ever had. I’m happy to see that you have so many friends all over the world.

Best wishes.
Emiliano from Spain.

marinaSeptember 28, 2007 at 6:48 am

Yeah, right!!!! (as you explained to us in some previous podcast). It’s 29 years on each leg I suppose!!!!
That’s what we say in Spain to people trying to cheat on their age. (“Si, ya… 29 en cada pata”)

But it is nice to know you feel so young inside…

Will you invite us to the party?

Happy Birthday anyway!

OlegSeptember 28, 2007 at 1:11 pm

Hi, Jeff, my best wishes on your 29th? anniversary !!! jajajaja, a good way of hiding your age, ah! I would do the same ! I hope you had a great time with your loved ones and with the ESL podcast team. Sorry about being this late to congratulate you but I just downloaded the podcast with the special announcement of this blog, which is, by the way, a fabulous idea. I am a fan of the podcast and I can´t tell you how much it has helped me keep and brush up on my English. Thanks to you and the whole ESL podcast team. I am writing from Caracas, Venezuela.
