English as a Second Language Podcast

Description

This podcast series is intended for intermediate and advanced English speakers who want to improve their listening and speaking skills. The podcasts use everyday words and phrases that one would hear from native English speakers in the United States. They also feature a slightly slower rate of speech.

Each podcast consists of two parts.
Part I: Dialogue about a specific topic
Part II: Explanation of the vocabulary and expressions used in Part I

These are great for any ESL or EFL learner!
