Learn English with real news, every morning. Daily episodes in clear English at B1 and above, spoken more slowly than everyday speech, with every word on the page, free.

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:
