Englishin10minutes is a wonderful tool for anyone wishing to learn or improve their grasp of the English language. The informal yet informative and interesting podcasts are an excellent way to demonstrate the intrigue, the intricacies and the twists and turns of the English language. However any questions raised in listening to the podcast can be easily answered by downloading the comprehensive worksheets.
Nick has come up with an alternative and innovative way of learning which is bound to lead to a much improved ability to use and understand English for those who follow the podcasts.
Good luck to Nick and all his growing number of students across the world
