Podcast

I had subscribed ‘Learning German for free with German’ and ‘ABC World News.’ I decided continuing ‘ABC World News’ rather than ‘Learning German for free with German.’ The program learning German seemed proper to people who are fluent in German because the host usually speaks German about our daily lives, and I am just in a basic level. On the contrary, ABC World News is good way to practice English and to get information of the world with a few minutes of intensive news. What I like the most about the podcasting is that a famous and talented host named Charles Gibson and his friend David Moore. I was big fan of them when I was learning Englsih through news. Luckily, I have an apportunity to receive news reports from them again!

Additionally, I found another podcast that would be useful to me; 'Harvard Business(HB) Idea Cast.' HB Idea Cast provides not only audio but also video too. This podcast was very useful for me for its various topics about Management and Marketing. This podcasts offers brief introduction of several articles published in Harvard Business Review. One of the stories impressive to me is 'Who is a Future Leader?' The article says that responsiblility of the future leader is person who changes and are reactive to a new day. Mostly, HB Idea Cast serves one podcasting services per week with a 10 minute long recording. They also preview what they will cover on the next week, so it is efficient and easy to have more attention on the topics.

I definately want to say that podcasting was the best source that I learned at AIE. Podcasting especially at i-Tunes is very good way to improve certain topics that people are interested in within a short time with less effort in everyday life with mp3 player or computer. I have already recommended this service to many friends who wants to improve English.
