Podcast I have to admit that lately I have been a little bit confused, because on the one hand I'm really anxious to learn English and especially impatient to finally be fluent in English, but on the other hand I have to admit that I'm absolutely confused about how to address my studies of the language. What should I do? How should I start? How can achieve my goal?

I have to admit that lately I have been a little bit confused, because on the one hand I'm really anxious to learn English and especially impatient to finally be fluent in English, but on the other hand I have to admit that I'm absolutely confused about how to address my studies of the language.

What should I do? How should I start? How can I achieve my goal?

In learning a language, it's important to have a specific goal. You wrote well, so maybe the next step could be understanding a 10 minute podcast, then a 20 minute podcast. The more specific your goal is, the easier it will be to accomplish it.

I think podcasts are a great tool! Unfortunately, I don't know of any that talk specifically about literature. However, I think freakanomics has some interesting topics http://freakonomics.com/category/freakonomics-radio/transcripts/podcast-transcripts/ And I have an old list http://englishwithatwist.com/2014/06/02/14-podcasts-to-improve-your-listening-skills-and-english-vocabulary/comment-page-9/#comments (Some of the podcasts are lame) The latest trend I've heard about are serials - but I've never listened to any. **NPR has increased its podcast library and might have what you're looking for. http://www.npr.org/podcasts/2000/arts (You can select from several categories) I hope this was of some help! Good luck. ^.^
