NZ podcasts thanks I loved it because I study every morning
no more typed text? I plan to dictate but not confident enough especially articles.
no more typed text? I try to dictate but articles are especially hard.
Oh dear. I will add a typed text option shortly.
Great. I use the website frequently to help with listening practice for my ESL students. the changes are good. I can make additional comprehension questions so what you do is really appreciated by me and my students. One small thing. The speed of speech is quite fast. If it could be slowed down a little it would help my group. I hope you don’t mind my saying that.
I hope you will enjoy the new, slowed-down version this week! If you are writing comprehension questions, I welcome you to forward them to me and I will add them to the post! Thanks for your feedback!
Hello, I have added typed text at the bottom of the post for this week. Just click on “read more”. I hope this helps. Also, the posts are easier this week.
