Hi, Shashi! This is Emma. Thank you for adding me as your friend. I am thankful of your sharing. Here are two good podcasts I know. 1. "At ESL Podcast, we provide English at a slower speed and use everyday phrases and expressions. We explain what these expressions mean and how to use them. That's all! It's simple, it's obvious, and it's very powerful."----http://eslpod.com/website/index.php 2. "Welcome to Storynory. *** We publish free audio stories every week. ***" http://www.storynory.com/
If I am not mistaken we have met in earlier discussions may be with Sean.....and I remember you run a English school there in Taiwan.....
Hi Shashi, thanks for explaining about podcast and introducing some interesting programme including yourself. So you have your own podcast! That`s amazing!! I really wonder how you manage your time schedule since you`ve got so many things to do such as learning at the Linguist, your job, posting blog, doing podcast and so on. What a busy man!
Shashi,
I come back to check the post again as I have said. Somehow I did one thing that I should have done last time. Why didn't I visit your podcast at that time? How pitty it is! There is a saying popping out. "Better late than never", I will say never mind to myself.
I suscribed to your podcast. I am here listening to the podcast of the interview about hitomi. It's great!
I can introduce my friends at The Linguist to my students through your podcast. This makes me excited.
Thank you.
Hi Emma
Thanks for subscribing my podcast....Actually I started this podcast just to practice on my English but later I started introducing Linguist member. As I can't talk to all the members at the discussion, podcast has given me a good platform to communicate with my Linguistic friends...
