FREQUENTLY ASKED ​QUESTIONS:

Here are the answers to an​y questions you may have abou​t Podcasts for English Success​.

Why should I use podcasts to ​learn English?

Podcasts offer audio lessons that you can listen ​to anytime, anywhere. Each episode helps you ​learn English naturally by covering key topics ​and skills. You can fit learning into your routine, ​whether commuting, exercising, or relaxing. It's ​a flexible, engaging way to improve vocabulary, ​comprehension, and pronunciation at your own ​pace and in your own time.

Will I be able to improve my ​speaking and pronunciation ​skills by just listening?

Absolutely! By regularly hearing real-world ​English, you’ll train your ear to recognise ​natural sounds, intonation, stress, and rhythm. ​While listening is a crucial step, you’ll see even ​greater results if you repeat what you hear and ​practise speaking along with the podcasts. ​Many of my episodes also include speaking ​prompts and exercises to help you actively ​engage and build confidence in your spoken ​English. Podcasts focussing purely on ​pronunciation development are also available.

What level of English are these ​podcasts suitable for?

The podcasts have been designed for English ​learners at any stage (beginner to advanced). ​Whether your goal is to improve your listening ​skills, expand your vocabulary, or boost your ​speaking confidence, you’ll find engaging ​lessons that match your level and help you ​progress further. Each podcast provides ​practical, real-world English, so there’s ​something for everyone, no matter where you ​are on your English learning journey.

How much time per day/week ​should I dedicate to listening?

The beauty of learning through podcasts is that ​it’s flexible and fits into your daily schedule. ​Even just 15-20 minutes of focused listening ​each day can make a noticeable difference. You ​can listen while commuting, exercising, or even ​while doing the chores - whenever it’s ​convenient for you. Ideally, aim for a total of 2-3 ​hours per week, but the more you listen and ​engage with the content, the faster you'll ​improve. Remember, consistency is key!

Are there any transcripts ​available for the lessons?

Yes! Every podcast comes with an automatic ​transcript, which you can easily access through ​the downloadable podcast app. This allows you ​to follow along with the audio, to read at your ​own pace, and to review key points for a deeper ​understanding. The transcript also helps you ​learn new vocabulary and to copy the ​pronunciation of any new or difficult words that ​you hear.

How will listening to podcasts ​speed up my learning?

Listening to podcasts immerses you in natural, ​conversational English, allowing you to become ​familiar with native-speaker level language in ​context. This helps enhance your listening ​comprehension and pronunciation skills, ​making it easier for you to understand and ​communicate effectively. Additionally, by ​engaging with topics that interest you, you’ll ​stay motivated and inspired to practise ​regularly. Regular listening also reinforces ​language patterns and grammar usage, ​accelerating your learning and helping you ​achieve your English goals more quickly.

Are these podcasts suitable for ​self-paced learning?

Yes! These podcasts are ideal for managing ​your own learning. If choosing your own speed ​and frequency is important to you, they allow ​you to listen whenever and wherever you ​choose, as often as you like. This flexibility lets ​you learn without stress, absorb the content at ​your own pace, and revisit episodes as needed. ​You can progress in a way that suits your ​personal learning style, ensuring you fully ​engage with the material without feeling ​rushed to complete your learning on someone ​else’s schedule.

How are these podcasts ​different from traditional ​English lessons?

Podcasts for English Success offers a more ​flexible and informal approach to learning ​compared to traditional English lessons. While ​traditional lessons often follow a structured ​curriculum in a classroom setting, these ​podcasts allow you to learn at your own pace ​and in your own environment. The content is ​designed to be engaging and relatable, ​focusing on real-world language use and ​practical topics. This approach makes learning ​more enjoyable and accessible, enabling you to ​immerse yourself in English naturally, anytime ​and anywhere.

What devices can I use to listen ​to the podcasts?

You can listen to the podcasts on various ​devices, including smartphones, tablets, ​laptops, and desktop computers. You can even ​download the special podcast app (for iOS and ​Android) to create a personal library for your ​chosen collection of learning podcasts.

Can I request specific topics or ​areas of English to be included ​in future podcasts?

Of course you can! Simply contact Nicole at ​hello@podcastsforenglishsuccess.com with ​your requests, and she will consider them for ​upcoming episodes for future podcasts.

Is it possible to ask questions ​or to give feedback? How?

Nicole is always open to feedback and warmly ​welcomes student suggestions (these podcasts ​are for YOU after all!) Simply send a quick email ​to hello@podcastsforenglishsuccess.com to ​share your thoughts or to ask any questions.
