Monthly news from podcastsinenglish.com
Dear Learner
Happy New Year! Winter is a great time to look up and see the stars, but you might also see something strange. Our first podcast for the year is called Starlink. Find out about this mysterious new visitor to the night skies. This is a level 3 podcast. You may also like to listen to other level 3 podcasts on the same subject: No connection and A click away.
Typically for this time of the year it's raining for us. This is why many people try to find some winter sun. One year we went to Cyprus, and we made this level 2 podcast and video: Carob cottage.
This is one of our podcasts of the month. Others include The market stall for level 1, another pie video. Listen to how Jackie gets on with selling things. For level 3 we have actor David talking about a very traditional January event in the UK: The panto. And don't forget we have a beginner's level so of course we have included The first week which again includes one of our pie videos.
There are more! Check out the sidebar on the levels pages for more suggestions. Talking about suggestions: we have over 670 podcasts on the site, please give us some ideas of topics to cover as we are running out of ideas! And of course we love hearing from our listeners.
Which reminds us: we have updated the lists of podcasts for the three main levels. This makes it much easier to find a podcast by topic. We have also updated the list of Special days, those days which have podcasts about them. Enjoy!
Remember that while most podcasts are free, podcasts 1 - 99 are for members only. Each podcast has essential transcripts, worksheets and extra materials for teachers and learners and with over 2000 to choose from, Join pie now!
If you are not already a member, one lucky winner in our monthly competition gets free pie membership! Renata from Brazil was the lucky winner of last month's competition. She correctly said that the answer was c) 500,000
For this month's quiz just answer this question: Where did they drive to in the desert in Syria? Was it a) Damascus, b) Palmyra, or c) Baghdad? The answer is in this level 3 video: Desert drive.
Write your answer on our Contact us page. Remember to tell us your name and where you are from. Good luck! Answers by the end of the month.
Best wishes
Richard and Jackie
