Worldwide English learners with internet access can now access a range of BBC Learning English programmes as free podcasts.

The weekly programmes, "How To...", "Grammar Challenge" and "Talk About English", come in bite-size formats and show students how to tackle tricky aspects of the English language.

Head of BBC World Service English Learning, Andrew Thompson, said:

"A really good way to improve your English is to listen on the go to short and sharp, user-friendly tips and suggestions – and that is just what we have prepared for learners, to BBC standards of quality."

The episodes are now available for downloading on demand via the link below.
