    Listening to podcasts I find podcasts really helpful and enjoyable for learning English. I discovered them just a while after I started to study the language. Browsing the Internet for some useful listening material like audio books, I came across a website mentioning podcasts in English. I didn't have a clue what it was and tried out one called ESL podcast and was fascinated by how fun the learning can be. Despite the fact I was an intermediate student at the moment, I understood the most of what the host spoke, partly because he pronounced all the stuff at half the speed of normal speech. Then I switch to other podcasts with normal speed and even to ones for native speakers like Radiolab, Hidden brain and others. I don't know what podcasts came from, how they were invented. They might have emerged from radio shows, acquiring the ability to be saved on servers and downloaded any time by listeners. Nowadays, we can find a plethora of various podcasts on the Web, covering lots of topics, even fiction podcasts played by actors. One of them, called Homecoming has become a basis for a Netflix TV series.

    What happened today Today I spent perhaps one of the most interesting days over the last month. I took a long walk across Kiev - through Hydropark, Rusanivka all the way to my home. Now I'll tell everything in order. The other day my brother and his wife came to us from Lviv. They are going to stay with us for around a week. Today's morning we decided to go for a walk. So first thing in the morning we got up and had slight breakfast thinking where to go, Kiev is a very large city. At first we considered going to The Holosiivskyi Park and visiting a museum located nearby. But then we change our minds and decided to visit Hydropark, it's an amazing island on the Dniepr. You might know that Kiev is located on the biggest river of Ukraine, the Dniepr. The island contains many beautiful sights to see and a subway track goes through it. We came there at first by bus, then by subway. We visited the museum "Kyiv in miniature" there. There are a lot of small reproductions of famous buildings and places located in Kiev and Ukraine. After strolling around Hydropark we headed out to the left bank of Kyiv - to Livoberegna station by subway. By the way, there will take place the Eurovision contest next month exactly near Livoberegna station. From this place we went to Rusanivka. Today a lot of people have enjoyed being in nature around this place and roasting shishkabobs. We passed Rusanivka and headed home. We passes by 2 huge bridges, stopped by a big shopping mall to buy some groceries and finally got home.
