Welcome to the Listening Time podcast.
I'm Connor from Polyglossa.com, and you're listening to episode 16 of the Listening Time podcast.
If this is your first time here, I'm glad you found us.
This podcast will help you practice your listening skills in English, and it will help you finally reach the level where you can listen to native speakers speaking at normal speed.
In this podcast, I speak naturally.
I speak about different topics each time.
But I don't read any type of script.
I just speak as the words come to my mind.
And so everything that you hear is natural.
But I speak a little bit more slowly and a little bit more clearly than native speakers usually do.
So this podcast is great for english learners who can already understand a lot of English but who still can't understand native speakers when they speak fast.
So with each episode, you also have the transcript available.
So if you look in the details part of the episode, you'll find the link to the transcript there.
So if you need help understanding me as I talk, you can read the transcript and understand every word that I say.
I usually recommend that listeners listen to each episode multiple times, maybe the first time without the transcript, and then the second time with the transcript to understand all the words that you missed the first time, and then maybe one more time without the transcript.
Again, this will be a great practice for your ears, and it will help you improve your listening comprehension.
So on today's episode, we're going to talk about birthdays.
This is a fun topic, so it should be good.
And before we start, remember to sign up for our $1 listening practice seminars@polyglossa.com.
if you need more help with your listening comprehension, and of course, give this podcast a like a rating, a comment, and please share it with anyone who might find it useful.
