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 151 - 200.
- This Season is IN PROGRESS. New content is posted as it's released.
- 500 + PDF pages and Mp3s that correspond the audio.
- Quiz
This will take me two years to complete. If you study one lesson per 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.
