Introduction
Previously, people can only learn the language on paper like newspaper and dictionary, and this limited their time in language learning . However, with the advance of science and technology, there are many learning language apps in our smart phones, which bring a lot of convenience to us that we can learn anywhere and anytime. I am one of the people who are keen on learning English while language learning apps come out. In the following, I would like to talk about the English learning language app that I am using.
Learning app
The podcast is a kind of digital media that has emerged recently. We can listen to it online on mobile phones, completely free, and the contents are issues from all over the world. It is built into the smart phones, the average length of an episode is ten minutes to one hour, so we can listen to it during our leisure time and when commuting!
The podcast provides many languages for us to learn such as English, Korean or Spanish, and it has many different topics and themes, for example, financial management, self- growth, international news, and gender knowledge etc. We can choose our interest topic to listen to.Through listening to the podcaster, we can thereby improve our English.
Also, we can choose the topic that is only focused on learning English. As the topics are diverse, and we can listen to different topics or everyday specific topics, to learn the vocabulary, and improve our speaking skills etc. Moreover, there are rich host groups, which have different host styles, and we can select our favorite host style. The English Podcast, also has six channels for beginners, intermediate, and advanced learners. We can choose according to our own level. Podcast has the function of slowing down and speeding up the speech rate, allowing us to practice listening at different speeds repeatedly.

The podcast was not a common media before, and many teenagers could not easily access it. They could only listen to the radio or the MP3 in the past. Nowadays, the podcast has been built into the smart phones and has added a widespread topic for people to choose. It totally changes the operation style of learning language . It is convenient because people can listen to the podcast anywhere by using the mobile phones and listen to any topic and any host style they like.
The podcast is a language learning app for me. It provides an opportunity to me to listen to the native speaking English thereby enhancing my English proficiency. I usually listen to the podcast when I am taking the transportation, I would like to listen to today's topic and download the content before I go out. It is just like a native speaker accompanying me to travel, while I can learn some grammar and vocabulary at the same time.
My favorite channel is 'TED TALKS DAILY'. It contains some selected TED talks from various places. I can listen to accents from many countries, and learn some special points of view as well. There are also films available, which are suitable for those who want to listen to English academic lectures and learn more new knowledge.
