super, but …

Please continue, but if possible add always a transcript in the details.

I understand that you have to do ads as a kind of payment for your efforts put in the podcast but you do 3 minutes ads for a 2 minute lesson? Really? Annoying and make the podcast not worth to listen anymore.

Great stuff for learners

I’ve been listening to this programme for a couple of years now. First I used it for preparation for the English test at Cambridge university. Now it is just for fun. I really like it. The episodes are not too long and entertaining. Sometimes the characters are stereotypes, maybe do some more „real-world“ characters here. All in all a great piece for learning and understanding English as it is spoken on the street. Keep up the good work and thanks BBC for the content.
