Hello, and welcome to practising English. This is my first podcast with you. In this episode, I'll talk about the following things:

I'll introduce myself and tell you about my professional background as an English teacher, researcher and writer.
I'll talk about the learners of English who will most benefit from these podcasts.
You'll find out about the levels of English used (mostly B1 and B2 intermediate and upper intermediate level students). And what sort of material I'll be offering you.
And finally, I'll say why I think these podcasts will really help you improve your English language skills.
You can find the audioscripts to these podcasts at https://www.practisingenglish.com/

My NEW book: "B1 English Vocabulary Builder - 22 Short Stories for Learning the Words and Phrases Students Need to Pass the B1 Exam" is now available! This book gives the learner enough vocabulary to pass any B1 exam (special help for Cambridge exams).

Learners studying towards B2 level will be interested in my B1 to B2 reader: The Tudor Conspiracy (includes audio version) https://amzn.to/4gPsj0i

For very young learners (from 8-10), I recommend my picture reader book for children learning A1 to A2 English. It comes with a fully dramatised audio version: https://amzn.to/46TCWvv

Oxford Bookworm Graded Readers: Read stories at your level to improve your English. I recommend Oxford Bookworms as the best series of books for learners: https://amzn.to/4r7YVHg
