March news

It's a great season for sports fans. Last month we talked aboutThe 6 nationsand we start this month with a podcast about dangerous sports:Scary sports many of which seem to be at the winter Olympics! Both of these are for level 2.

There are three new 'podcasts of the month':What on earth is Earth Hour?for level 1. Earth Hour is 27 March this year. And there are two podcasts to go with the Oscars theme. The first isCasino Royalefor level 3 and the second isLights, camera, action!for level 2.

We now have about 180 podcasts on the site so one way of finding a topic that interests you is to go to theextras page - all the topics there are in alphabetical order.

A big thanks to listeners who have written to us recently with ideas for podcasts - we really appreciate that! We are always interested in what you think of the site, so keep the suggestions and comments coming!

Good luck with learning or teaching English during 2010.
