Today I’ll share my new favorite podcasts for 2018 IELTS preparation.

In order to increase your listening comprehension so you understand the IELTS Listening Exam, especially Sections 3 and 4, is to subscribe to native speaker podcasts.

These podcasts should be made for native speaker audiences, not students.

Student podcasts tend to feature language that is spoken a bit more slowly, and vocabulary that is not advanced, or native and natural.

So, to challenge yourself and bring your listening skills up to the next level, you have to listen to podcasts that might be difficult to understand.

However, as with any skill, it may be hard at first, but keep practicing and you will improve! In the beginning of this year, I wanted to broaden my podcast boundaries, and I found some new programs that are amazing!
