February news

2012 is well on its way now, the last of the winter months (for us) is here and we're already looking forward to spring.

Our first podcast for the month is a business podcast, it's called Starting a business. We discuss research on whether starting a new business during an economic downturn is a good idea or not. What do you think? It's for level 2.

Meanwhile there are three new 'podcasts of the month' on the site. The first is Let it snow, watch and listen to Londoners enjoying the wintry weather. This is for level 1 and is an authentic video. The second one is A tale of two islands, where we talk about our island homes, this is one of our pie videos. Finally, for level 3, you can listen to Andrew talking about his love of motorbikes: Two wheels good.

Not forgetting that the 6 Nations Championship starts this month. You can listen to Richard talking about rugby here.

Best wishes and all the best for 2012.

Competition time

Well done Diego, who comes from Chile, for winning last month's competition. He correctly said that Scott is so famous because he kept a diary.

Now there is a chance for another listener to win free pie membership. Just answer this question from one of our podcasts: what three things does Jackie say you need to make soap (level 1)? We'll put your name in a hat and let you know at the end of the month if you are the lucky winner. Email us the answer today: thepieteam@podcastsinenglish.com Please also tell which country you are from - thanks! (Closes February 28)
