They might come in handy in the future!
みんな元気にしてた?お約束のとおり今回もオススメポッドキャストの紹介です。今回のは「中上級クラス」のみなさまにオススメのものを集めてみたよ。単語に特化したもの、ビジネス向きのものなどもあります。いずれもためになるものばかり!では始めましょう。
1. All Ears English- 4.0
Rating
Narrated by: American English
Speakers
Hosted
by two people, this program gives off a light atmosphere which feels more like
hanging out with your friends and listening to them talk about their daily
happenings. Targeted towards intermediate to advanced English learners, the
speaking pace tends to be more natural. The program also has a smartphone app
where you can directly listen to the episodes, complete with all the
transcripts and vocabulary introduced. They also encourage you to join their
community of learners, further emphasizing the importance of connection and not
just perfection!

票 中上級
日頃の出来事を軽いノリで二人の進行役が話をすすめていくので、友達と話してるみたいなのがこのプログラム。よりナチュラルな会話進行なので中上級クラス用といえるかな。スマートフォンアプリもあるのでそこから直接のリスニング、会話内容や語彙もチェックできちゃいます。彼らの英語学習コミュニティへの参加をよびかけていて、「英会話は完璧なことよりもつながりが大事」ってのが合言葉みたいね。
2. Just Vocabulary- 4.5
rating
Narrated by: American English
Speaker
This
program, just as the name suggests focuses solely on learning new vocabulary-
specifically two words. The speaker further explains the meaning of the words
and uses them in many sample sentences. Repetition of the words is quite a lot
all throughout the episode. The pace of speaking is also normal, thus, perfect
for intermediate and advanced learners. Unfortunately this program doesn’t have
a website or transcript linked on the podcast provider.

2: Just Vocabulary- 4.5
票 中上級
このプログラムは名前の示すとおり新しい単語2つを学ぶことに焦点をおいています。話し手は単語の意味とさまざまな使い方の例を示してくれるわ。エピソードの中に何度もその単語が繰り返されるの。速さは普通なので中上級者におすすめね。ポッドキャストの提供元のウェブサイトや会話内容へのリンクは残念ながらありません。
3. Business English Pod- 4.0
rating
Last
but not the least we have the podcast perfect for professionals on the move.
The program covers important business topics and skills. The speaking pace is a
little slower than normal but also varies from one speaker to another. Words
are enunciated very clearly as well. It comes with all the dialogues and
transcripts on their website. Downloadable formats are available for their
premium members.

最後になりましたが忙しい専門職のかたにぴったりのポッドキャストを紹介します。このプログラムは重要なビジネストピック・ビジネススキルをカバーするもので、語りの速さは話し手にもよるけど、ちょっとゆっくり目かしら。発音ははっきりしてるわ。ウェブサイトに会話内容が載っていて、プレミアムメンバーにはダウンロードできるフォーマットもあるみたい。
That
is all for the second half of my recommendations. I hope these podcasts help
you in your English language learning journey!
みなさん、いかがでしたか?今回のポッドキャストがみなさんの英語学習の助けになるとうれしいです。
