When you’re learning a language, it is important to try and listen to that language and immerse yourself in that current culture as much as possible. But when you’re a non-native speaker, this can be overwhelming and very difficult to follow.

Here at SBS Learn, we want to encourage students to not just learn a language, but to love a language. This is why we’re excited to announce two new additions to SBS’s podcast series that will allow you and your students to listen to your learned language a little slower and a lot easier! Learn a language faster, slower!
