    Love this podcast!!
    I follow a couple of podcasters for learning English (audience from Taiwan!) and this is the only one that I keep following until now!!! Love the fact that they use trending news to help me learn English, and more importantly a true “oral expression” NOT a book-style English!! It’s also good to have a slow speaking pace that I can easily do 1.5x play for listening practice and tune back to 1x if needed. Keep going Jeff and JR haha! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    适合中级英语水平的听力学习播客
    这个听力学习播客的特点是语速较慢,高难词汇较少,让我这种中级英语水平的人可以轻松听懂90%以上的内容。实际上我通常用1.25倍的速度来播放,完全可以跟得上。遇到第一次没听懂的部分,可以仔细听第二遍或第三遍,这样往往就会听懂了。总之听不懂时不要急于看文字稿,试着多听几遍。播客的内容也很有趣,都是一些热点事件和话题,不会感到乏味。每集介绍的短语也非常实用,可以立刻用于日常对话。总之如果你属于中级水平,平时听力练习较少,这个播客就非常适合你。可以极大地矫正你的发音 从而提升你的口语能力。

    This is the best
    This has helped me to understand better English because the host speaks in a slow pace and explain vocabulary to expand on it, it’s weekly so I can have something interested to listen always!
