What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have listened to these podcasts for many years! I learned a lot from them over the years and recommend to anyone who wants to advance their English skills. They used to be free but they are worth every penny and also priced very reasonably. Thank you Lucy and Jeff for your devotion to producing this content. Paul, TX

paultribeca · Dec 2020

It helped me a lot to learn English for daily conversations before getting my scholarship to US.

saherz · Dec 2020

I came to US almost 7 years ago for college. My English was a nightmare back then and the ESL podcast has helped me so much with not only the language but also the cultural perspectives. I appreciate this continuous learning experience and will miss the days I can simply play the podcasts on iTunes… Thank you very much Dr. Jeff McQuillan and Dr. Lucy Tse who are from the beauuuuuuuutiful Log Angeles, California. =))

Words are explained in a very clear way. The contents are useful for learning day to day English.
