Year 1 + 2: Elementary Podcast

Hi, again

I´ve just discovered this very interesting podcast. For those of you who are not familiar the term, a podcast is an audio file that you can subscribe to, so that you don’t have to visit a website to listen to it. This is the first one of a series.



You can do the following activities while you listen.

When you finish, you can read the transcript.

I´ll try to include listening exercises here using this podcast. However, if you want to subscribe to this podcast, or find out more about it, go to http://www.britishcouncil.org/learnenglish-podcasts-elementary.htm.
