English Conversation Podcast: Native Speaker girl loves books
British native-speaker teachers having a natural English conversation about books and literature. This is a lot livelier than it sounds ![]()
In this podcast, you can hear Melissa Humphreys and Bren Brennan. They have been colleagues for a good few years, so that’s why they are always joking around and teasing each other (“taking the mickey”) ![]()
In English textbooks, the recordings can often sound unnatural because they record the audio with actors who read from scripts. You will be able to hear the difference straightaway with this podcast. This is just 2 friends having a normal English discussion. Enjoy.

Lovely podcast!
I also enjoy the real books much more than the e-reader. However because on the e-reader I can instantaneously access to the dictionary to look for any English word that I´m not sure about, I´m now starting to read e-books. But once I’ve gained the gold medal in English language I will carry on on buying and read real books. After all I still have the dream of having a huge library!
