A podcast to improve your english

Waow, that's a great idea, ESLPod is a podcast to improve your English by listening to native speakers talking about topics of interest to you. Now podcasting is also officially joining the elearning world !

Each ESL Podcast lasts 10-20 minutes, and has three parts:
1. An dialog or story read a bit slower than normal speech.
2. An explanation of some of the expressions and phrases used in Part 1.
3. A repetition of the dialog or story at a native rate of speech.

I love it ! Subscribe to this podcast.

Thanks for this info. Very useful!

I agree with Thierry...very useful information! I am new to the podcast idea, but have heard good things about it from professors here at Auburn. I still, however, am a little skeptical to the idea of streaming audio and the quality of its sound.
It is undeniable, though, that the ESLPod seems like a great way for people to learn English, while listening to their cell phone or on the Internet. If the content is of high-quality and the technology is easy to use, ESLPod will be a technology breakthrough for many trying to learn English.
Have you subscribed to this particular podcast? I am interested to see if they provide podcasts for other languages. I just recently completed my Spanish minor and am always looking for ways to improve and expand my vocabulary and knowledge...podcasting sounds like an easy way to do this.

Hi Monica, yes I did subscribe to it, actually it is only available in english, but perhaps will some spanish podcaster duplicate the ida on their market...?

I agree with Monica, a podcast to help people improve with other languages would be very useful. With the field of public relations growing as rapidly as it is because of all the new technology we have I believe we could all benefit from knowing how to speak other languages and speak them well. Come to think of it, there are probably a lot of people who's native language is English that could benefit from learning to speak it better!
