English and Beyond: Advanced English for Fluency & Communication

I have to said that I’ve discovered you guys by accident. Now i become your fan . I love the way Cesar talk since I’m also a Spanish speaker and sometimes need help with translation or pronunciation. In my case I’m reaching the fluency that allow me to understand and follow your speech but my accuracy need to be polish . Thanks for this amazing tool to practice English . Oscar from Argentina.

I’m not even learning English but this is so relaxing to listen to. I’d recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to improve their English. Great job, Oliver and César!

When I was learning English, I used to avoid any listening comprehension materials that included even a slight accent, mispronunciation, or speaking lapses. However, this podcast has shown me that there is much to be gained from non-native speakers or fellow language learners. Non-native speakers often produce speech that is easier to understand than that of natives, which can be particularly helpful for improving listening comprehension. They tend to speak more slowly, use simpler phrases and sentence structures, and avoid excessive slang and local expressions. As long as their pronunciation is clear, their discussions can be highly effective in keeping listeners engaged while providing clear and concise examples of language use. Additionally, including non-native speakers in language-learning materials can cater to a broad range of learners with varying language proficiency levels and help keep learners motivated through the inevitable ups and downs of their language-learning journey. Highly recommended! Thank you, Oliver!

I’m a native speaker of American English and started listening to this podcast because I’m a fan of the “Spanish for False Beginners” podcast (which is way over this beginner’s head, but estoy aprendiendo poco a poco). I enjoy the English podcast because it’s interesting and I have come to feel like Oliver and Cesar are my nephews or something! I think listeners who are learning English will enjoy the relaxed conversation as much as I do. You may find it useful to slow down the playback speed and follow along with the transcript.
