#4: How To Use Podcasts To Learn English...

Leonardo English
About this episode

 


In today's podcast we go in depth into why you should use podcasts to learn English, and explain some of the best techniques to maximise your English learning with podcasts.

We'll explain how you can take a 10 minute English podcast and turn it into an intensive 2 hour lesson, where you work on your English listening, speaking, reading and writing. 

Then you can decide whether you're a serious English learner and want to test it, or you'd rather just put on Netflix and trick yourself into thinking that you're learning.

In today's episode we cover:

  • Why listening is underrated
  • Why learners find English podcasts hard
  • Understanding language without visual cues
  • Detailed explanation of how to use a 10 minute podcast to create a 2hr lesson
  • How this compares to a 2hr film in English
  • Final 2 tips on listening to podcasts in English
