As you know, Richard, I use your work every single day with students from age 12 to 75 yrs old! I haven't found anyone else who produces the same quality of work that you and Jackie do; teachers really don't need to look any further than your site, everything is there that we need.

Paula Ann Coombes, France

Actually, I'm a teacher of English in Hungary and I find your website very useful because one of the greatest problems for my students is to understand spoken English. So I use these podcasts to improve their listening skills in a practical and entertaining way. My students also find them challenging, varied and amusing. We love them so much! Thank you for your amazing job!

Judit Egervari, Hungary

I have checked several websites with English podcasts for learning English and for me your podcasts are the best. I see that it is done by people who taught a lot of foreign pupils.

Grzegorz Halek, Poland

I've been subscribed for almost 2 years now. I've just cancelled my subscription. It's been so helpful for me and my students. I want to say thank you for the big effort and the high quality. It's been a pleasure using your native speakers voices.

Santiago Cerrato, Spain

You have no idea how your podcasts and activities are fun and useful for me. I use them all the time to teach English to my students. I just love your accent. You guys are amazing!

Kelly Correa, Brazil

You are doing a great job! In the past, I used your free lessons and just the podcasts to listen to, but I'm glad that I have now subscribed and will be able to use all the superb materials.

I wanna thank U 4 your good podcasts. Please go on, we Iranians really enjoy our teaching and your methods.

Dr Mohammad Vaziri, Iran

Your podcasts have been most useful to me since it's not easy to find enough dialogues in English on the internet, but lots of narration that are too easy to follow and have little to do with English spoken by common people in the streets, pubs, workplace. etc.

Antonio Mora, Spain

I'm a pretty busy teacher who's spent hours over the years making her own listening tasks and your website has been such a lifesaver.

Prita Muthalali, Switzerland

Listening to real conversation was a help to pass my exam and improve my English level. Thank you so much.

I have saved all your podcasts on a CD that I hear every day driving to my work, and now I understand English much better than before! I enjoy a lot hearing you both, and it is very funny the way you teach English.

Your podcasts are always a great success in my classes. The students do all the activities and debates and they learn and enjoy a lot. Thank you.

Mary Mendonca, Brazil

I'll go on using all the documents you put on pie because they are fantastic and my students love studying English with them! Thanks a lot!

Elisabeth Trigalez, France

I use the podcasts quite often in class - they really are a godsend for busy teachers and most importantly the students love the challenge of listening to native speakers other than myself. Thanks for a great website and keep up the great work!

I used to listen your podcasts in my car and I very appreciated your work. I specially enjoyed the "Yorkshire podcast" I didn't know that region. I said:"One day I'll go there" and this summer I spent my holidays there! I visited York and Middlesbrough. I took two day trips in the national parks, very beautiful places, I visited Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, Pickering, and many others villages and places. Thanks for your "advise" and for your work.
