Description
Boxcar English is a podcast for English learners.
It's one of the best and most pleasant ways to learn English.
A gentle, slow voice, with simple language, tells stories that deal with everyday life situations in sometimes dreamlike ways, so the listener engages with the meaning, rather than idea of learning English.
Listen to episode 050 for instructions on how to use the podcast!
The philosophy of the podcast is to provide the good, positive energy needed for learning a new language, with much of the content for free or low cost, and for all of it to be made by a human, and not impersonal AI-based creation. It's based on the language-learning theory of "Comprehensible and Compelling input," which says that you should listen and read to a lot of materials that are 1) Easy to understand (you know 95% of the vocabulary), and 2) Interesting to listen to.
Boxcar English is designed to be fun, welcoming, & refreshing to different levels of learners.
At Boxcar English, there's always room for you!

Part 12 of the story beginning with 076: On the train. Sometimes it seems like things will never end. But then, one day, they do! In jail, every day is the same. Time seems to have no shape. We can add “-less” to communicate that—”shapeless” means “no shape.” But time does have a shape, and this was the day we would break out of jail! boxcarenglish.com patreon.com/boxcarenglishpodcastIf you enjoy the podcast, please tell a friend!
