Benefits of This Site

This site will improve your skill in listening to real English conversations. To do this, it gives advanced students of ESL access to hundreds of authentic, entertaining conversations between native speakers. To give you the best opportunity to practice ESL listening, this site strives to make these conversations as real as possible:

In these conversations, as in real English, the speakers will sometimes pause, stumble, repeat themselves, and misuse grammar.
The conversations will be entertaining, and will address topics you would like to hear about.

We also encourage you to watch English-language movies, television and radio in your journey as a student of ESL. But remember: the neat, well-rehearsed scripts of these media will not prepare you for English as it is actually spoken. Preparing you for English as it is actually spoken is the job of this site.
