For each next podcast, we will pick a specific topic and discuss it. If you have any ideas for topics that you would like to listen to - write us =)

In this episode 10 of English on the road, we discuss an article on which countries can claim to be the oldest in the world. I hope this podcast allows you to practice your English listening and comprehension.

The podcast begins with some vocabulary which is important to the topic, then we read the article and answer some discussion questions. 

The article is from a website called engoo which has many free English learning materials. I highly recommend checking this out if you want to study English independently or with a tutor. 

Thank you for listening and I hope you have a great day!
