Easier listening with podcasts

Do you find it difficult to listen to texts in English or to speak to someone on the telephone? Then podcasts will be ideal for you. Podcasts are audio files which you can download onto your computer, mp3-player or mobile phone and then listen to them wherever you like. When commuting to work, you can listen to podcasts in your car or on the bus or train. Because of this flexibility, podcasts are a wonderful way for improving your listening skills, and if you listen regularly, you will notice the difference. Some podcasts which are made for language learners even come with a tapescript so that you can read along or check out new vocabulary. You will find podcasts on the language learning websites I introduced before and on many other website. Some examples are:
Professional English Podcasts, Business English Pod, BBC Podcasts. Give it a try and prick your ears!
