WHAT YOU GET

A new episode every morning. Two real news stories from today, at a steadier pace than native conversation, with the words the news really uses.


Every episode has a page. You can read along as you listen. You get today's vocabulary, one grammar point and a short quiz. You do not need an account to read.


WHY THE NEWS HELPS

You already know what happened today. So your attention goes to the English, not to the story. At this level that is what moves you from understanding lessons to understanding real reporting.


WHO B1+ IS FOR

You can hold a conversation and you want the vocabulary that real reporting uses. The pace is still slower than everyday speech, so speed never gets in the way of the words. This is the level where most learners stall.


NOT SURE ABOUT YOUR LEVEL?

Answer about twenty short questions. We tell you your level and what to work on next:
