Other podcasts which you have to know


In previous posts I wrote about some podcasts which I like. Today I want to write about others.
You can find them on BBC website. There are some podcast dedicated to English learners:
These are the best examples.
The podcast are very useful, short,  easy to understand. And of course they have educational purpose.
On BBC website you can find also some podcasts from radio stations – podcasts which are more difficult to understand but, because created for native speakers, with very natural language.
You can research for your favorite on this website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts
And here you can find mine:
Pay attention – some podcasts are available only for some time.

The best thing is that there is an app or two which makes listening to the BBC podcast on your mobile device much easier. But about the apps I’m writing in next post.

Day #49 Practise your English with British Council podcast



If you are not advanced in English, especially in listening to English I recommend you British Council elementary podcast which you can find here:

This website contains audio materials but much more. First of all you can find transcript and some exercise  both in printable (in Instructions & downloads section) and interactive version. Using this materials you can not only listen to British English but also learn English by yourself.
To make it easier the whole material is divided into section. Every part has its own exercise or exercises. Of course there is also a key with answers for them at the end on the printable version. You can learn with interactive materials from website as well, it’s up to you.
But it’s not all. There is also a mobile version of the podcast. The one for android users is available here:
I don’t know what about you, but I like the idea of listening to the podcast and doing exercises wherever I am, using my mobile phone.

So try the podcast and write in the comment section what is your opinion about the materials.
