Instructions

Hello, my name is Ine Sandor, and I am making this podcast for you.

In the first episode, I will introduce myself. In the next five episodes, I will talk about everyday topics: my family, shopping, clothing, cycling, and life in the Netherlands.

You can also practise your speaking skills with this podcast. Sometimes I will ask you a question. Sometimes I will ask you to say something.

Listen to or read the instructions to find out how to practise with the podcast.

You can listen to this podcast from language level A1 onwards.
In the first episode, I introduce myself.
In the next five episodes, I talk about everyday topics: my family, shopping, clothing, cycling, and life in the Netherlands.

You can also practise your speaking skills with this podcast.
Sometimes I will ask you a question. You will hear an audio signal. Pause the podcast and give a short answer to the question.
Sometimes I will ask you to say a little more. You will also hear an audio signal. Pause the podcast and say a few sentences.
Of course, you can also pause the podcast whenever you want and give a response. This allows you to practise speaking and forming sentences.

You can also pause to repeat a word and practise its pronunciation.
If you listen to the same episode a few times and respond, you will notice that speaking becomes easier and more fluent.

There is no transcript or vocabulary list for this podcast. This is intentional.
A transcript helps you practise your reading skills. Our goal is to practise listening and speaking skills.
You do not have to understand everything. If you understand 80%, that is fine.
A tip: you can always play the podcast more slowly. That can help you understand it better.
