  • Hi folks,

    It’s incredible, but I think that I discovered a new world called podcasting.Before this toppic discussion I didn’t have any idea about what it was.After your explanations Carla, I got dozen of new pocasts and I am listenning to all of them, daily, while I am driving or just waiting in a line.I am sure, that it is a great instrument for learning and it is a very good way to get the news from different point of views.

  • Dear Luiz,

    You can’t imagine how excited I get when my students give me this kind of feedback. It makes all the hard work worthwhile.

    I’m glad you got the idea and have been exploring this new world of podcasting. I’ve been learning a lot from it, too! I guess that its biggest advantage is the fact that learning becomes totally mobile, you can learn on the go!

    Thanks for telling me about your experience! You made my day.

  • Hey everyone,
    I agree with Luiz, podcasting is amazing. For me, it has opened a new window for me. I think that podcasting will make me practice my listening skills, while having fun. and like Carla said, I can be working out while practicing my English. Podcasts are very useful! I loved learning how to use them, and I already have some in my folder. I hope that in a couple days that folder will be even fuller… Thanks Carla, for opening a new window for me!!!

    Hi Guys!

    The podcasting is really a great way to help you improve your listening and comprehension, I got some podcastings on my mp3 and I listen to it whenever I can, while I’m walking, driving even when I’m woking, it’s fantastic! I feel I’ve improved my listening comprenhension since I started “use ” podcastings!

  • Dear Amanda and Luciene,

    I’m glad you are profiting from the world of podcasts. They are certainly a very effective way to practice English on the go. No excuses for not enhancing your listening skills! I’d love to know which podcasts you’re listening to.
