Elementary Podcasts are suitable for learners with different levels of English. Here are some ways to make them easier (if you have a lower level of English) or more difficult (if you have a higher level of English). You can choose one or two of these suggestions - you don't have to do all of them!

Making it easier

  • Read all the exercises before you listen to the podcast.
  • Look up the words in the exercises that you don't know in a dictionary.
  • Play the podcast as many times as you need.
  • Play each part of the podcast separately.
  • Read the transcript after you have listened to the podcast.

Making it harder

  • Listen to the podcast before you read the exercises.
  • Only play the podcast once before answering the questions.
  • Play the whole podcast without a break.
  • Don't read the transcript.

I live in Cevennes, in the south of France, so the weather is fine particularly during spring (now) and autumn. But there are two seasons with rain ! Not every day but someday : in Spring it's a good thing because grass and flowers are growing up, and rivers are filling themselves ; in autumn, woods are marvelous with the yellow and orange'of chestnut trees'colors but there are also big thunderstorms and sometimes floods. But I prefer this two seasons then summer witch is sunny every day with hight temperatures (30°C and more) ! Winter is not very cold, with a few snowing days behind 800 m of height and there are less of cold days, about 0°C, exceptionaly  less than 10 behind 0.
