Listen to Podcasts!!

Hello Guys:
Yesterday a student at Intermediate recommended a wonderful website ESLPOD.COM that you can visit to practice your listening skills...

www.eslpod.com

It is a great website because you can download the recordings in MP3 format, and listen to them even if you're not connected to the Internet, you can record them in CDs, etc...
Please have a look at it!
Happy Weekend!!!!
ps THANKS EMILIO!:-)
