Listening

Justin and Ralph McBook present The Justin Time Radio Show, English listening practice for pre-intermediate and higher learners. It's a great way to learn lots of useful new vocabulary and improve your English listening skills. Have a laugh with Justin and Ralph, telling funny stories and jokes. Start by downloading the listening activity, and the last file is the script so you can check your answers. The great adventure starts at the bottom of this page with episode 1, Homestay Guest, and evolves, but any order is okay. I recommend completing one per week, but you are free to choose.
