Anyway, many of you ask which podcasts I would recommend to English learners
and my top three that I would recommend are: number one, Radiolab, which talks about a lot of fun
science and nature things; Mystery Show, which has a little more, um, action and mystery, I guess;
and NPR News. "NPR" is "National Public Radio" and it's the most popular news source.
All three of these podcasts have many interviews, they're interesting, and especially with the news,
the announcers speak very clearly, and it's a good way to stay up-to-date on what's happening in the world, too -
with an American accent!
I would also highly recommend trying to speak with a native English speaker, converse with a native
English speaker. That means both practicing your listening but also practicing your speaking.
And a tool that I use and that I love, and that I highly recommend, is the website italki,
which facilitates you being able to find a conversation partner or a tutor to help you for half an hour,
or for an hour at a time. Typically it's about 30 reais for an hour (or more), and you can choose which area
you want your professor to be from - the United States, England, Australia - and get to learn
a different accent, and also kind of quicken the process of thinking what you want to say
and processing what is being said to you.
Fantastic tool. I have a link in the description below; if you use that link, you get 10 dollars free
after you take your first lesson. So you can use that for another lesson. And I get a little bit of money too.
So you can support me that way as well.
So with that, I will say to you guys: thank you very much for watching, and keep up the good work! Bye.
