  • Learning English Through a Fun Atmosphere

    I always enjoy this podcast. I’m an English learner from Japan. Sometimes I miss parts of the conversation, but the atmosphere is so fun and pleasant that I keep listening. I replay the episodes again and again until I can understand the conversation. It’s very useful for learning English, I think. Thank you so much. I look forward to learning more from your podcast.

  • I love their talks and skits!

    I'm a fairly new listener, and I absolutely love their funny, sometimes even silly, conversations! I'm a huge fan of their skits. As an intermediate learner, the slow conversation isn't always necessary, but I still love listening to them while I'm relaxing and knitting. Hope they keep being naughty!

    P.S. This is my first podcast review ever!

  • AbeとBig RichとBen最高!

    I highly recommend this podcast to English learners worldwide!!! This is my favorite podcast! It’s entertaining and easy to understand, so you won’t get bored while listening. However, it’s so funny that you might burst out laughing, so I wouldn’t suggest listening to it on public transportation.

  • A listener from Taiwan⭐️

    I am a listener and English learner from Taiwan. I love your podcast sooooo much! I enjoy every episode, and it helps me improve my English listening skills happily.

    I have a question for you: Have you ever experienced culture shock?

    I am going to America to study in August, but I have never lived in another country, so I feel nervous about the cultural differences. I would really appreciate it if you could share some of your experiences!

  • Funny and reliable

    I’m Japanese.

    This is my first podcast to brush up my listening skills. They speak slowly and clearly, so I can understand well what they talk about. More than that, their talk is so fun. And listeners can ask questions about relationships, business matters and so on.

Yes, rice is universally available, and it is prepared in similar ways across different cultures.

265. Unbelievable!
Q: If you have English and French in Canada, how can you communicate each other?
