This is one of the best podcasts by BBC. Because this is quite different from other English vocabulary learning podcasts. You guys have been doing this wonderfully. You are not just teaching new words but you guys bring us the way of using those words in a sentence. Learning new vocabulary with their usage is by far the best. Keep doing , love you guys
Innovative way of presenting vocabulary
