Necesito un maestro que pueda ayudarme a prepararme para asistir a la universidad en español Hola! Espero asistir a la universidad en Latinoamérica o España para obtener mi maestría o doctorado. Ya entiendo y principalmente hablo español, pero no me siento preparado para las pruebas y entrevistas a nivel universitario. ¿Qué debo buscar en un maestro para ayudarme a prepararme para esto? Ya puedo mantener largas conversaciones, pero necesito ayuda más especializada con la estructura de las oraciones y el vocabulario. ¡Soy un estudiante al que le gusta la tarea y necesito sugerencias para aprender a nivel académico! Planeo estudiar Antropología.

Podcasts For Learning English

Hello everyone! I am an English teacher here on iTalki. When learning Spanish, I found that listening to podcasts really helped with my listening comprehension and vocabulary. I am a journalist and have put together several podcasts regarding different topics. Some are like stories with music, and others are plain interviews! 

Do you think podcasts could help you learn English? Are you using them already? 

I am thinking about assigning them as "homework" to my students. Here are a few below on my SoundCloud. Let me know what you think!
