What is Thinking in English?
Thinking in English is a podcast for English learners who want more than simple, repetitive “beginner topics.” If you’re tired of boring listening materials about hobbies, weather, and introductions, this podcast is for you.
Thinking in English explores real, meaningful topics, including culture, politics, science, economics, history, philosophy, technology, and current events, and explains them in a clear, accessible way for intermediate and advanced learners.
As a language learner myself, I understand the frustration of wanting to engage with deeper ideas but struggling to find content that is both interesting and comprehensible. That’s exactly why I created Thinking in English.
Every episode comes with:
- Free transcripts (On the Blog, Spotify, or YouTube)
- Useful vocabulary lists
- Clear explanations of complex ideas
- Natural English you can use in real life
If you want to improve your English and learn about the world at the same time, this podcast is the perfect place to start.
