How can listening to podcasts actually improve your English? In this episode, Sam and Anna talk about how Anna used podcasts as her main technique to go from zero confidence to fluent English speaker. We share practical tips for turning passive listening into active learning, including shadowing, summarising, and how to find and save new vocabulary naturally.

We also talk about why English sounds so different from what you expect when native speakers talk fast, how connected speech and rhythm work, and how to fit more English into your busy life without needing extra time.

This episode is perfect for intermediate and advanced English learners who want to get more out of their listening practice.

In this video, we dive into the complex topic of karma. Is it a tool for personal responsibility or a form of victim blaming? We explore the lack of evidence supporting karma, reincarnation, and life after death, while questioning how these beliefs can coexist with the harsh realities of the world. From political issues to philosophical questions, we discuss how karma is perceived in the West versus its religious roots in Hinduism and Buddhism.

If you were a creator, would you include karma in your design? How do you justify suffering in the world? Join the conversation in the comments below, and let us know your thoughts on karma, reincarnation, and life after death.Debates in English is a lesson series for upper intermediate to advanced-level English learners who are interested in politics, history, psychology, philosophy and economics.

I'm a British native speaker, experienced English teacher and have a master's degree in Politics.
