TALC has a podcast!
Check out the TALC Chats Podcast! TALC Chats is a podcast by TALC tutors for TALC learners, or anyone looking to improve their English! Listen to English speakers talk informally about all sorts of subjects, learning English grammar and vocabulary along the way. Past topics have included the weather, holidays, and shopping.
If knowledge is power, then nothing offers more power to change a life than the ability to read.
