Monthly news from podcastsinenglish.com Dear Learner It's raining. However, we are quite happy about that as the winter has been so dry. March means spring, of course, and therefore our favourite flowers The wild orchids are beginning to appear. Watch the video that also goes with the level 1 podcast and see how beautiful they are. This is one of our podcasts of the month, there are others including Catching up a level 2 podcast: Sue tells Jackie all her latest news. And we have Podcasts for March - there are many!

More will be appearing throughout the month so keep a lookout on the sidebar for the levels. St Patrick's Day brings us to our first podcast for March.
