A:  What do you think about all the coverage of the Royal Baby?   B:  It makes me sick!  I really don't see what the big deal is.    A:  I think mostly women care about it from what I've seen.  Maybe they fantasize about marrying a prince or something.  They get all emotional about this kind of fairy tale life.  It also helps that Kate is pretty hot.  William, on the other hand, looks terrible, but at least he has a good sense of humor about it and said he was glad the baby takes after his mom in terms of how he looks.    B:  Well, I guess if it's just girls who care about it then it's not too bad.  I certainly wouldn't want to be friends with any guy who genuinely gives a damn about this.

A:  Do you think we should let the cat out of the bag about our new website?   B:  I think we're ready to tell our China232 audience of what we've got so far and what's in store for www.LearnEnglish232.com.    A:  What do you want to say about it?   B:  Well, we should at least tell them to check out all the free lessons and videos as well as enourage them to get in the habit of frequenting the site.    A:  What about getting them to join the new VIP community?   B:  Well ya, that goes without saying.  I was taking it as a given that they'd find it once they got on the site and started checking on some of the lessons.  I don't think we need to push it too hard.  It will sell itself.     Get More Lessons

Dialog: A: I just picked up a new Samsung Galaxy S IV. What is the best way to listen to you guys on China232? B: There are certainly no shortage of options. You've got the 232 Android and Apple apps for example. You can listen directly on the site. You can also download the Stitcher podcast App and use that. Stitcher is an awesome way to get at the free ones. A: I'm a complete tool with technology. How do I do that? B: All you've gotta do is search the Android or iTunes app store for "STITCHER". It's free. Just download it and search for "fun English lessons" directly on the app. We'll be at the top of the list. You'll figure it out. A: I think I can pull that off. I'm going to give that a go as soon as I get to a wifi hotspot. B: They have free wifi here. Why don't you just do it now? A: Ok..... Oh, there you guys are. Why do you have such a stupid l

In this ESL podcast we talk about our plans for 2013 and about getting out of a long relationship and getting a fresh start on life. Dialog: A:  How's single life? B:  It's ok.  It's relaxing.  It's nice having the place to myself, but it can be kind of lonely at times.  I don't have any "friends with benefits" anymore either.  A:  Why don't you go hit up some clubs this weekend?  This city is flooded with tons of hot single girls. B:  Clubs aren't my scene at all.  I always seem to get too wasted and strike out when I go. A:  Come on man, everyone gets rejected sometimes.  Don't think too much.  You've just got to put yourself out there and things will be fine.  Get More Lessons

In this ESL podcast we get back into the free section and talk about some major life decisions we’ve been making. Learn English for real life! Dialog: A:  Yo, what up homie? B:  Not much bro.  Just firing off an email to some retard at work.  A:  Is it an important one or can it wait? B:  It’s not important at all.  I just feel like taking this one guy down a peg.  His new job title went straight to his head and now he’s just being a loser to everyone. A:  Why are you wasting your time on that kind of thing? B:  Just for the hell of it really. Get More Lessons

This Free ESL podcast is about Facebook.  Learn English for slang daily conversation in English. Dialog: A:  Hey, what’s your facebook? B:  I forget.  It should be easy to find though.  We’ve got a lot of mutual friends on there.  I don’t use it much anymore though. A:  Really?  I love it.  I find it helps me stay in touch with people I don’t see on a regular basis.  It really keeps me from drifting apart from old friends. B:  It’s great for that but I find it to be a bit much.  Anyone can upload any photo of you and tag you in it.  Then everyone can see that photo whether you want them to or not. A:  I agree it can be a bit of an invasion of privacy.  Anyway, I still like it overall. B:  Well, you’re not alone.  Over 600 million people use it and the international growth is amazing.  Get More Lessons

This is a podcast that we wanted to recommend to improve your English vocabulary

In this podcast we have a special introduction to another English learning podcast from betteratenglish.com

In this English podcast we talk about relationships and some problems guys and girls have in them.  Listen and learn English for daily life and relationships. Dialog: A:  What are you doing later? B:  My girlfriend is dragging me to the opening of the new Apple store in Shanghai.  Her birthday is in a week and I know she’d love a new laptop. A:  The stores on the mainland are super expensive.  You can save a lot if you buy one in Hong Kong.  B:  I’m not looking to save a couple of bucks.  Our relationship is on the rocks and I can feel I need to shell out for a decent birthday gift if I want to save it.  I’ll probably take her on a trip too. A:  What happened?  I thought you guys were doing really well.  B:  I’ve been a bit distant lately and she can feel it.  We’ve been going out for 2 years now and it’s gotten a bit stale.  She says it feels like I don’t have both feet in the relationship.  A lot of other guys are after her and I can feel I need to start giving her more attention if we’re going to make it.

We just got back from a trip to Thailand and we wanted to share some great vocabulary and phrases for life on the beach.  We have a lesson here with some terms and phrases that we found were used often on our trip by many native English speakers. Have a listen and let us know what you think! Dialog: A:  You feel like going out for dinner later?  My treat. B:  I appreciate the offer but I think I’ll pass.  I went to town on the buffet last night and feel like a fat hungover cow. A:  What happened to your diet? B:  I fell off the wagon last night but I’m gonna get back on track starting today.  A:  I should do the same actually.  My bod isn’t exactly beach worthy at the moment and our trip is only a month away.  B:  It’s not easy during the holiday season.  I’ve gotta drop a good 5 pounds of pure lard in the next month.  Let’s hit the gym and just eat something small after. A:  Good idea.  Get More Lessons

This ESL podcast is about learning new business ideas and improving your life. Dialog: A:  Who do you think will be the big winners in business over the next couple of years? B:  I don’t have a crystal ball but I really believe that people who are adaptable, can speak English and another language well, people who understand the internet, and people who can network well will be at a huge advantage.  Moreso now than ever before. A:  What is it about the current landscape of the global economy that values these skillsets? B:  Rapid technological change and a massive transfer of wealth from rich to poor countries are two major trends that will continue well into the foreseeable future.  People who take advantage of these trends will be ahead of the game and become rich, while those who sit around hoping that change won’t happen will be left in the dust. A:  Can you give any specific examples? B:  Take education for example.  Because of technology, it’s now possible for a professor to give a high quality video le
