Monthly news from podcastsinenglish.com Dear Learner Happy New Year! And not just a new year but a new podcast as well! You may well be one of the many people who have eaten too much over the festive season. Many start January with a diet and consider how to do a 'body cleanse'. If that includes you, then do listen to Detox, yes or no? This level 2 podcast looks at the benefits, or not, of going on a detox diet. On the subject of dieting you may also like to listen to The 5:2 diet. Another podcast for level 2, which we both did a number of years ago. This is one of our Podcasts of the month. On the same theme we have Vital vitamins for level 3 which asks if supplements are necessary. Plus, before the detox diet became trendy, there were other diets which we talk about in You are what you eat also for level 3. For level 1, we have Breakfast (here and around the world) and not forgetting our beginners level there is a pie video for Good morning! which also is about the first meal of the day. As always there are lots more featured podcasts on the sidebar of the levels so do have a look! Remember that while most podcasts are free, podcasts 1 - 99 are for members only. Each podcast has essential transcripts, worksheets and extra materials for teachers and learners and with over 2000 to choose from, Join pie now!
