The gap between classroom listening and real life is brutal: native speakers interrupt, hesitate, joke and speed up. This series trains your ear on genuine, unscripted conversations between real speakers with a range of accents — the English you’ll actually meet.
Guided listening tasks turn each conversation into practice, not just exposure, and every episode’s eBook gives you the full transcript to check what you caught — plus vocabulary and exercises to squeeze the most from every listen.
A real, unscripted conversation — genuine speakers, different accents.
A teacher-led audio class works through the key language with you, out loud.
The eBook: full transcript, vocabulary lists and exercises for every episode.
Level 2 — Pre-Intermediate / Intermediate (CEFR B1)
Every episode is built around one real-life topic:
Aimed at Pre-Intermediate and Intermediate learners, though students above and below this level get a lot from it — the tasks are devised to make that happen. The Level 2 vocabulary is selected to help you work effectively towards the Cambridge Preliminary English Test (PET), and is very helpful if you’re beginning to work towards Cambridge First Certificate (FCE) or IELTS.
Level 3 — Upper-Intermediate / Advanced (CEFR B2–C1)
Aimed at Upper-Intermediate to Advanced learners, though students above and below benefit too. At Level 3 the material helps you make further progress towards Cambridge First Certificate (FCE) and IELTS, and prepares you for Cambridge Advanced English (CAE).
Greyed topics aren't published free on the site or in the podcast — they're included in the complete pack.
