Podcasts in English (pie) is a podcast-based learning website for English learners and English teachers. Its core focus is improving listening skills for EFL and ESL learners through short audio and video content. The site states that it offers 730 podcasts, 112 pie videos, and 20 pronunciation videos, organized into sections such as beginners, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Business English, and more, covering learners from beginner to upper-intermediate levels as well as business contexts.
The course content is centered on English listening, conversational comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and business English. The format is not live classes or 1-on-1 tutoring, but pre-recorded podcasts, videos, and downloadable materials. Most recordings are dialogues or interviews and include different accents; user comments also mention that much of the content is in British English and that the speaking speed is clear. Supporting resources are its main value: members can access worksheets, transcripts, vocabulary tasks, and webquests, while teachers can also use lesson plans and classroom materials. In terms of teaching credentials, the FAQ says the materials are written by two experienced EFL teachers/trainers/authors, but it does not provide more detailed biographies. The website does not show any accreditation, certificates, or proof of course completion.
Most podcasts and videos can be listened to or watched for free, making it easy to try first. For structured learning or teaching use, however, a membership is required: €19 for 3 months or €33 for 6 months for individuals; school subscriptions are €149/year and allow teachers to share materials. Given the volume of content, the level-based structure, and weekly new materials, it offers good value if users need a large supply of listening materials and classroom worksheets.
The strengths are clear level organization, a wide range of topics, and episodes that are usually 3–5 minutes long, making them suitable for short listening practice sessions. It is also teacher-friendly and can reduce lesson preparation time. The downsides are limited interactivity, with no information about live Q&A, homework correction, or 1-on-1 speaking practice; core materials require payment; and the terms state that materials are provided “as is,” with no guarantee of accuracy, completeness, or continuous updates.
It is suitable for self-learners who want to improve English listening, as well as primary/secondary school, adult English, and EFL/ESL teachers preparing lessons. The text does not specify access conditions from mainland China. Payment methods only mention credit or debit cards, so support for common domestic Chinese payment methods is unknown. If access or payment is inconvenient, users may consider Chinese English-listening apps, accessible alternatives to YouTube-based resources, or other graded English podcast resources.
