017: Police Stop

Boxcar English is a podcast for English learners.

It's one of the best and most pleasant ways to learn English.

A warm voice with a limited vocabulary range speaks slowly enough for you to understand. The series are designed for different levels of English learners. The podcast focuses on stories that are interesting, funny, sometimes beautiful, sometimes strange, so the listener engages with the meaning, rather than the surface level of the language. The "For beginners" podcast focus on basic phrases and vocabulary.

The philosophy of the podcast is to provide the good, positive energy needed for learning a new language, with much of the content for free or low cost, and for all of it to be made by a human, and not impersonal AI-based creation. It's based on the language-learning theory of "Comprehensible and Compelling input," which says that you should listen and read to a lot of materials that are 1) Easy to understand (you know 95% of the vocabulary), and 2) Interesting to listen to. 

Boxcar English is designed to be fun, welcoming, & refreshing to different levels of learners.

At Boxcar English, there's always room for you!
