Bhatti - I am actually from Pakistan and now live in Canada. Even though English Language is my major at University, I still learn a lot from BBC podcasts, news reviews and live lessons. Honestly speaking, at times, I use these reviews and lessons as a teaching material for ESL students because I find it so useful. I would really appreciate it if BBC would put out some techniques or ways that help students to improve their scores on IELTS Reading and Writing Modules. Keep up the good work!

I am at intermediate level, iam going to learn English, I got this podcast the third day of the new year 2026, Iwill hope to help me for learning english as a fluent .

Thank you

Understood it's interesting thanks

Thank you for the sharing, anyway if I don't get what others saying, I usually say "Oh I'm sorry, could you please say that again, because there were some parts that I missed it"

Very quick speaking

Honestly, this podcast has motivated me very much .I appreciate the time you took to do this conversation.🌹

I really enjoyed this podcast. Thank you very much. I'd like to listen more podcast with this channel.

Thanks you teacher

I’m studying English now. My teacher sent me this video. Thank you for your job. ❤

I usually say, Say it again or I really missed it while communicating. Now I would like to use a better phrase: What was the last bit again?

Thanks

This man has a tongue that sends shivers down your spine with the power of his eloquence

4:37 A funny story of my English:
I was in a hospital and the doctor had very tough accent of English I was a kind of translator there because the patient was not understanding any English and the doctor asked after dealing with one patient, what about his brother? And I heard it saying what about the weather (due to accent)😂 and I translated it the same way. The patient was like what? Later on my cognitive neuron sensed it and I corrected myself.

love

oh i love it!!, even though i can't translate every word,but the postcart still makes the content easy to understand.

Great initiative

Short video and useful

I usually say ' i did not catch that' or ' I missed that', then say ' could you repeat it'.

14:56 Well, that is kind of an embarrassing thing that happened to me, a long time ago. I was speaking with a native speaker but my level was A1 and i did not get something so i said '' what'' then i saw her reaction and realized it is a kind of rude word

That bald man speaks very fast.
