Welcome to my podcast for English Language Learners. Here you can improve your English comprehension by listening to my conversations with guests from all over the world.
By listening to real conversations, you will begin to understand different English accents and connected speech. You’ll learn interesting things about people, language, and travel along the way.
As of 2023, I retired from English Language Coaching and Teaching. I took my website down. You can still find me on social media, although I'm not currently very active. Please direct inquiries to [email protected] and mention the podcast.
Note: The podcast started out as Conversations with Kate and then changed to English for Exploration. I'm thinking about adding episodes on the topics of health and wellness. (I trained as a health coach before my 6 years of teaching English online). Let me know what topics you'd like to have me cover.
