English Learning - Audio Podcasts

Nowadays exist plenty of options how to learn foreign languages, especially English. If you have some basic knowledge of the language, it needs to push the level up. My favourite type of learning is listening audio podcasts - this is pretty efficient. You can listen them anywhere, in an office or during some free time activities.
Question is how to choose the right one. The most important is to choose some which fits to your level. Nowadays you can find many English podcasts on the internet but some of them are not understandable at all. It is caused either due to bad quality of a record or weird accent of a speaker. For those who prefer more British English than American, I can recommend Luke's English Podcasts. The guys speaks RP (BBC English), which is very understandable accent. These podcasts are suitable for intermediate and higher levels. This guy makes every single episode very entertaining, you can get to know a lot of interesting things (for example how to swear in English) in the episodes. For those who can have some problems with understanding, for some episodes are available even typescripts.

  


Important question is how to get this podcasts? It is pretty simple, just follow  this link where you can find all the episodes. Good thing is these podcasts are for free.


Or some people prefer more podcasts with American lectors, for those who like them better, follow the links below to check them out.

Html tutorials - How to make links open in a new window

This post will be definitely useful for the visitors of my blog or bloggers who have the same problem with what the title of this post says. Thanks to one blogger I found the way I found the way how to fix the problem. So from now all the links in my posts will be open in a new window.

Most blog platforms let you use a button shortcut for adding a link in a post. You know the drill: you highlight the words you want to link, you click on the Link button, you paste in the URL. Easy-peasy.

But if you want the link to open in a new window, instead of having it take readers away from your page, you can click the "Edit HTML" tab and add a target tag to the link's code.

 

A link's HTML code looks like this (minus the spaces before and after the brackets):

< href="http://www.exampleURL.com">text text text< /a >

To make the link open in a new window, add target="new" between the URL's endquote and closing bracket. Like this:

< href="http://www.exampleURL.com" target="new">text text text< /a >

If you have a Typepad blog, you can install a widget that makes ALL links automatically open in new windows.
