Albert Valenzuela on July 20th, 2007 10:40 I’m a filipino pal who is frequent visitor of your site. Thanks a lot indeed for having this very useful website of yours in improving our english proficiency. More power to all the people involved in creating, maintaining, and keep improving the site. You are absolutely great! I know that there a lot of people out there who benefit from it. God bless and keep up the good work.
Bob on July 24th, 2007 14:54 I think podcasts are a great way to learn foreign languages. In my opinion, B@E is one of the better English learning ones out there. It’s neat to see all the content available to students now.
I’ve been teaching EFL for around 14 years in Japan. I do a podcast called the Bob and Rob Show for high-intermediate to advanced level students. Some of you may enjoy it.
