Elementary Podcasts are suitable for learners with different levels of English. Here are some ways to make them easier (if you have a lower level of English) or more difficult (if you have a higher level of English). You can choose one or two of these suggestions - you don't have to do all of them!
Making it easier
- Read all the exercises before you listen to the podcast.
- Look up the words in the exercises that you don't know in a dictionary.
- Play the podcast as many times as you need.
- Play each part of the podcast separately.
- Read the transcript after you have listened to the podcast.
Making it harder
- Listen to the podcast before you read the exercises.
- Only play the podcast once before answering the questions.
- Play the whole podcast without a break.
- Don't read the transcript.
Now, listen to the podcast and do the exercises on the following tabs.

I subscribed the podcast on my phone and listened when I'm on my way home/office. But I found some words are unfamiliar for me. I want to check that is there any way to get the whole podcast with TEXT version? I can take a glance before listening and read detailedly after listening:) Anyway so nice of you to provide so good podcast for us to learn english.

Hello Juana!
I'm happy you enjoy listening to the podcast! If you want the text version, you can download the transcript. Click on Instructions and Downloads, just above the Tasks section, to get the files. They are available as .pdf files, but most modern phones can read this kind of file.

Hi everyone,
My recipe is “tortilla española”. Cut some potatoes, doing little slices, then, fry them in olive oil. They must be tender but not crunchy. Then, break some eggs and whisk. After, mix the potatoes with the eggs. In a pan slop some olive oil and when this is hot, put the mix and fry. After three minutes toss tortilla and fry during three minutes more, and it is already done. Buen provecho!
