5 podcasts to help you improve your English
Podcasts are a great way for you to listen to English being spoken. Even if you don’t understand everything that’s being said, simply listening to the language will be of some benefit to you. You can choose to listen to podcasts specifically aimed at English Language Learners, or you can just listen to podcasts that are in English, depending on your preference. The beauty of the podcast is that it can be listened to almost anywhere – while working, showering, commuting, cooking or even at the gym! Here are 5 of the best podcasts to help you improve your English:
