In the last years podcasts have undoubtedly become one of the most common tools to practise listening, which is probably the most difficult skill to develop. Given their short duration and their wide variety of topics, you can listen to them anytime, anywhere.In a previous entry (Listening to English at home: podcasts) I talked about what podcasts are and how you can download them using iTunes. Today I give you some recommendations on what podcasts to listen to, categorised by levels.
- Elementary podcasts, by the British Council, for elementary levels:
- 6 Minute English, by the BBC, for all levels:
- Better at English, for intermediate levels and above:
- Splendid speaking, for advanced levels:
- Zapp! Vocabulary and pronunciation
- Zapp! English colloquial podcast
- Zapp! English listening podcast
By all means, this is only a brief selection of podcasts. If you want to look for others, check the 12 English podcasts every English learner should listen to!
