Welcome to the Listening Time podcast.
I'm Connor from Polyglossa.com, and you're listening to episode 27 of the Listening Time podcast.
If this is your first time listening, welcome.
You've found a great tool to help you practice your listening comprehension in English.
The way that this podcast works is that I I choose a different topic or a couple different topics to discuss on each episode, and I speak about these topics in a normal, natural way with natural phrases and natural vocabulary.
But I talk a little bit more clearly and a little bit more slowly than the average native speaker speaks.
In.
This way you can understand me better than you can understand other native speakers, and you can use this podcast to build up your listening skills until you can eventually understand me very easily, and then you can move on to other podcasts made for english speakers.
Also, with each podcast episode, you have the transcript available.
You can access that in the episode notes if you want to use the transcript.
One great way to do this is to listen to each episode multiple times, maybe the first time without the transcript, and then maybe the second time with the transcript, so you can see all those words and phrases you missed the first time, and then maybe one more time without the transcript again, just to see if your listening comprehension has improved and you can understand those words that you missed the first time.
So that's just one way you can use this podcast, but really, you can use it any way that you'd like.
Also remember that we have listening practice seminars for just $1, and they're available@polyglossa.com dot.
So if you need more in depth practice for your listening, I recommend that you sign up for those seminars.
And of course, remember to give this podcast a like and a rating if you're listening on Apple Podcasts.
And remember to share it with anyone who might find it useful so we can help this podcast grow.
Alright, so today we have an interesting episode.
It's a little bit different from my other episodes because today we're going to talk about ancient Greece and in particular ancient Athens.
So this episode will be a little more historical than the other episodes, and there will be more information and historical facts.
So hopefully you'll like it and hopefully you learn something from this episode and you find it interesting.
