A Podcast to Try: "5 Days to Become a Better Listener"

If you're focused on listening, I recommend the "5 Days to Become a Better Listener" podcast. It’s a simple series where you can practise by predicting the words or phrases you’ll hear before listening. Then check if they came up in the conversation. This makes your listening practice both fun and effective!
