I think podcast is one of the convenient
tools whose contents of each topic are practical because I can use it without
the time limit so that I can learn English whenever I want; In addition, I can
also choose my favorite topics depending on my needs. Through this kind of tool,
I can train my English skill as if an English speaker would teach me how to correctly
speak native English. The reasons why I like podcast are that I can build up my
vocabulary bank a bit every day and the lectures don’t speak fast so I can
catch up what he said.
Different from
the materials I used before like the CDs with contexts book or English-learning
magazines, I do not need to install software or insert CDs to the computer;
besides, I can download the mp3 formats from the website and save them to my
smartphone.
I think the strength
of podcast is that users can learn English online every time only if they have
computers that can connect to the Internet and even download the formats in
order that they want to make good use of time learning English. However, it has
drawbacks which are users cannot communicate with the lectures in time if they
have any questions and the topics are those lectures decided; therefore, users may
have no choices to pick up their most interested topics.
