About this app

Join millions of satisfied learners and listen to the British Council’s most popular English language podcasts in LearnEnglish Podcasts.

Improve your listening, reading and understanding of general and business English – any time, anywhere. LearnEnglish Podcasts has lots of special features that make learning English fun.

Podcasts are downloadable any time, so you can access the content offline. Then, when you have finished with an episode, you can delete it to make space on your phone.

LearnEnglish Podcasts – key features:

* New podcasts are added every week, so you never run out of things to listen to. We have podcasts on a range of topics, from language learning tips to information about the world, so there is something for everyone.

* Downloadable episodes mean you can listen offline. But don’t worry, when you have done with an episode you can delete it, so it doesn’t use up space on your phone.

* Interactive audio scripts allow you to repeat hard-to-hear phrases or new vocabulary easily. Plus, pitch control means you can slow down the audio speed if the speaker is a bit difficult to understand.

*Background playing means that you can listen to the audio while the screen is off, which means you can slip your phone in your pocket and listen to podcasts on the go.

* Enjoy simple comprehension exercises for every episode of content, with a progress screen so that you can track your progress.

* Share what you’re watching and listening to through Facebook, Twitter and email with integrated social media sharing. Celebrate your progress with your friends.

Ratings and reviews

It s a very useful tool for learning (and teaching) English as a foreign language, though I believe there are articles that anybody might find interesting and enjoyable to listen to. Each podcast offers the opportunity to practice various skills, from listening and comprehension to a deeper look into the use of grammar and construction of sentences. Therefore an English teacher has a wide and rich reservoir to turn to when they want to design their own online/digital lesson.

This app definitely improved my listening. I have been using this app since a long time ago. Unfortunately I face with some problems now. The app does not work well. Firstly, episodes stop playing after 1 or 2 minutes when the screen is off. Secondly, after finishing each episode I can not turn back to the home page. It gets stuck on the "loading ads" pop-up page. I reinstalled the app several times but it did not help.

Nice app, but it would be better if it playes automatically the next part. I mean we have to unlock the phone and go in to the app every time one part finishes for listening to the next episode, imagine how hard it is specially when we are driving! there should be play/pause/forward tools in this app to be more convenient and more useful.thanks!
