Some websites for helping with English - stories, poems, philosophy, business, finance and academic

Here are some possible resources for those wanting to improve their English, most are not English learning sites, but many people here ask for specific interests, so here are some to help. Some have audio others do not, some have subtitles/transcripts and others don’t.

Poetry and stories - short and long ones some with audio

I have not checked these links but I am sure they will be helpful and probably entertaining! At a certain point of this long language learning process, I do not look for materials prepared for students, I just want information for native English speakers, this is challenging but I learn quite a lot.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us!
