Listen to the British Council’s most popular English language podcasts in LearnEnglish Podcasts.
Improve your listening, reading and understanding of general and business English – any time, anywhere. LearnEnglish Podcasts has lots of special features that make learning English fun.
Podcasts are downloadable any time, so you can access the content offline. Then, when you have finished with an episode, you can delete it to make space on your phone.
LearnEnglish Podcasts – key features
* New podcasts are added every week, so you never run out of things to listen to. We have podcasts on a range of topics, from language learning tips to information about the world, so there is something for everyone.
* Downloadable episodes mean you can listen offline. But don’t worry, when you have done with an episode you can delete it, so it doesn’t use up space on your phone.
* Interactive audio scripts allow you to repeat hard-to-hear phrases or new vocabulary easily. Plus, pitch control means you can slow down the audio speed if the speaker is a bit difficult to understand.
*Background playing means that you can listen to the audio while the screen is off, which means you can slip your phone in your pocket and listen to podcasts on the go.
* Enjoy simple exercises for every episode of content, with a progress screen so that you can track your progress.
* Share what you’re watching and listening to through Facebook, Twitter and email with integrated social media sharing. Celebrate your progress with your friends.

Ratings and Reviews
Best podcast ever
Hello
This app is fantastic, I have recommended it to many people and now a lot of friends of mine are listening to it. I got the most out of it. Thank you for your brilliant ideas. I was addicted to the story of caroline and it’s been long time the series haven’t been updated. So I am looking forward to hearing the rest of story in not too distant future
Best wishes
Developer Response ,
Thank you very much for your review. I will pass your comment to our app manager. Although we don't have any further episodes of the Carolina story at this time, we have a whole series of 20 episodes (Writing Home) which is about Milton, a friend of Carolina's from Brazil who is living in London and trying to find work as an actor. Perhaps you will enjoy listening to that. If you have any suggestions, feel free to let us know at learnenglish.mobile@britishcouncil.org. We love hearing from our users. :)
Appreciation
I used to be a huge fan of this app when I was a student. This app is really helpful and filled with full of childhood memories. I always refer to this app to my friends and colleagues who are trying to improve their English skill.
The Problems
The speech is clear and the subject is beautiful, but it is not possible to translate the new words that you want to learn. You have to exit the program and go to the translation program. Also there is no copy of the word. Please solve the problem. I will give the program the best rating. Thank you
