Do you feel stuck in the intermediate English level?
Do you want to break out and start improving quickly?
500 Really Useful English Phrases is one of the best audiobooks for learning English at a more advanced level.

You have mastered the grammar and the basic vocabulary, but most textbooks just carry on like nothing has changed.
This audiobook takes a different approach, by exposing you to as much real English in as many real-life situations as possible, so you can naturally get a feel for the language.
Every new phrase in this audiobook is introduced in the real context of a short story or an article.
So by having fun and listening to something interesting, you will be learning naturally rather than having to force yourself to study!

Pollyanna is a classic in children's literature. The story is about a 12-year old orphan who goes to live with her Aunty Polly in Vermont.

This one-of-a-kind bear had traveled all the way from Peru when the Browns first met him in Paddington Station. Since then, their lives have never been quite the same . . . for ordinary things become extraordinary when a bear called Paddington is involved.
Learning a new language can feel like a long journey sometimes, but do not give up! The more you diversify your learning activities and immerse yourself in new cultural experiences, the easier your journey will become.
