Want to feel more comfortable speaking English?
This podcast is a simple way to practice speaking through listening.
Each episode focuses on an everyday topic, like your morning routine, pets, your home... you get the idea.
There are three levels: basic, intermediate, and advanced, so you can choose what feels right for you.
I'll talk about the topic first.
Not perfectly (just like in real life).
Then you can do the same.
Pause, repeat, or come back to an episode anytime.
Oh, there's also a quick self-evaluation so you can notice your progress.
That's it.
