Hello everybody!!
Today I've discovered another useful tool the web provides: podcasts!Well, I had heard this word before when listening to the radio -radio2!- but honestly it never crossed my mind to go and check how podcasts work...until today! I have been listening to conversations, interviews, english lessons online, stories and much more the whole morning...I enjoyed myself because discovered some really funny speeches or interesting news and therefore want to share what I found with u!
Hope u'll enjoy them!

This website is really cool. Two guys talk about different subjects, just visit the main page, then click on lessons and you'll find interesting conversations about everyday life...such as phone conversations, confronting a problem with a friend, talking about a date, talking about important subjects like global warming, health...and much more...the website is really easy to understand, and plus it offers a list of key vocabulary and phrases which are discussed in the podcast...go have a look!
www.guardian.co.uk
This is the official website of the famous English newspaper, here u can find on the podcast format many articles on current topics, interviews, discussions and obviously news!
Listening to guardian's podcasts can be very interesting and useful both from the linguistic point of view - to improve our English, learn new words and do some listening exercise which is always good!-, and from the cultural point of view to keep up with the world's latest news!!
www.thebobandrobshow.com
As you can easily understand from the url of this website, here we deal with two "comedians", two guys - an English and an American- which discuss different subjects ranging from cultural aspects to food habits...well to use their own words this website contains a hodgepodge of podcasts which can sometimes be funny! I found it interesting to have two speakers coming from different countries -and continents!- in this way u can learn and appreciate two English accents and pronounciations!
Well that's all for now!
I hope u'll find those websites useful and see u soon!
