Dear Teacher
Well, the Olympics may be over but now it's the time for the Paralympics, and what amazing athletes they are! We did a podcast about The Paralympics for London 2012 but it's still worth a listen now. Find out when it started and for who.
Of course Coming fourth still applies to these athletes, how on earth does that feel? Listen to our latest podcast which is for level 3.
We have updated our featured podcasts for Podcasts of the month. These include a few more sporty ones: the football season has already started and we are 'over the moon' about Liverpool's first 3 wins in 3 matches. We have a fun level 2 podcast, Back of the net with lots of great football jargon. It's the perfect podcast for the start of the season! Football is also linked to our podcast for Colour Blindness Awareness Day, 6 September. Find out what links the two in Red or green? for level 3.
Look out for more highlighted podcasts in the levels sidebar including loads about clothes for London Fashion Week (September 12 to 17).
Did you see we now have 690 podcasts on the site! Each of the main levels has 190 podcasts! And we almost have 100 of our own videos! Do please send in some suggestions for topics we can talk about, we love hearing from our listeners.
