This is about odd jobs — little jobs to do here and there. Not a “full-time” job, but an odd job. It’s also about seeing someone who looks just like you. It feels strange, huh?

059: Odd Jobs

Boxcar English is a podcast for English learners.

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

A gentle, slow voice, with simple language, tells stories that deal with everyday life situations in sometimes dreamlike ways, so the listener engages with the meaning, rather than idea of learning English.

Listen to episode 050 for instructions on how to use the podcast!

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!
