Englishland with Leslie
Englishland is a podcast devoted entirely to English language learning and listening practice. It is focused on comprehensible input and engaging topics to help intermediate and advanced English learners train their ears to understand spoken English, learn about life and culture in the United States, and gain the confidence to speak with native English speakers. As a student of Spanish, I benefitted greatly from the many Spanish podcasts available and decided to pay it forward by creating my own podcast.
