Welcome to my podcast for English Language Learners. Here you can improve your English comprehension by listening to my conversations with guests from all over the world.
By listening to real conversations, you will begin to understand different English accents and connected speech. You’ll learn interesting things about people, language, and travel along the way.
As of 2023, I retired from English Language Coaching and Teaching. I took my website down. You can still find me on social media, although I'm not currently very active.

This very short story can be used to improve your listening comprehension. Listen once. Write down a summary of what you heard. Listen again. Write down exactly what I said. Download the transcript on Gumroad. https://conversationskate.gumroad.com/l/storyrescue
Compare your understanding with what I actually said.
Clients may submit listening dictation to me to discuss connected speech and why some of the phrases may have been difficult to understand.
