Whether you can barely say “hello” in English or can talk fluently in the language for several minutes, there are some real gems for you here – a podcast series for all levels of English language learner.  What’s really great about the Culips site is that there are several different podcast styles.  The Catch Word podcasts focus on casual expressions, idioms and slang to make you sound more like a native speaker.  The Chatterbox podcasts feature real conversations between people.  Simplified Speech is a podcast devoted to natural English conversations at a slow, easy-to-follow pace.

These are intelligent, practical and well put together podcasts.  They are all conducted in English and most of time this is spoken at slightly less than normal speed.
