Boost Your Learning Experience
See the spelling to look up words. Review what you’ve heard. Dive deeper into each episode.
I recommend listening to the episode first and then listening a second time with the transcript. With this package, you'll gain access to:
- Transcripts and Mp3s for episodes all new episodes 101 - 150.
- 400 + PDF pages and Mp3s that correspond the audio.
- 5-Minute English Course (Part 2)
This Season took over a year to make. If you study one a week, it’ll take you also almost one year to complete!
Step 1: Listen Actively
Just like usual, you can listen to the episode. However, in addition to the Mp3 - which gives you permanent access to the audio files - you can actively listen and check on words you do not understand.
I recommend listening first without the transcript.
Step 2: Check Vocab
When you can't understand a word from context or from pronunciation, check the transcript. In addition to being key in clarifying misunderstandings, it can serve as a resource for comparing written and spoken English.
I recommend writing original sentences with new vocabulary.
Step 3: Listen again!
Before listening a second time, be sure to review the transcript and / or use the podcast player provided in Season 3 to review new words and phrases you didn't know the first time around. Then listen again. I recommend shadowing (repeating after me) ONLY after you've understood everything in the audio.
Episodes Included (101 - 150)
Season 3 includes Expression Episodes, which are tied to a Cultural Story, 5-Minute English Episodes, Chats with Shana Episodes, 10 Words a Day Episodes, Interviews and Discover a New State Episodes. You'll also gain access to the 5-Minute English Course (Part 2) by signing up to Season 3.

About Your Teacher
My name is Shana and I’m an ESL teacher from California.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve been fortunate to share my love of English in Brazil, Spain, Germany, and throughout the US. Having taught over 3,000 online and in-person lessons, I’ve become obsessed with how to make the intermediate student's learning experience effective and memorable.
Apart from teaching, I like to bake, hike and I’m an avid language learner. I love listening to German and French podcasts and chatting with my husband Lucas and our two daughters in Portuguese!
What students say:
"I'm happy to tell you that I've acquired Season Number 3. I'm not lying, the content is more than I expected !!!!
To be honest I expected only the downloadable audio in mp3, the transcriptions in the form of PDF and the quizzes but your web page surprised me, I love the transcription by SONIX, it allows me to read, listen and mimic pronunciation easilies than ever. And not to mention your professional learning methodologies, so great!
Thank you again for helping me to restore my sense of fun in learning English and revive my interest in the language."
