SBS Arabic<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

SBS Arabic<\/span><\/a> is a great podcast to listen to <\/span>if you want something current<\/b>. It is a<\/span> news bulletin podcast<\/b> covering what is happening predominantly in Australia, but also the wider world from an Australian perspective as well. <\/span>There is a new podcast every day<\/b>, in fact, the podcasts are just recordings of live broadcasts, so if you're feeling particularly confident you can tune in live! There are also shorter podcasts if you're wanting something easier to listen to. Try <\/span>Is the mobile phone spying on its users?<\/span><\/i><\/a> for a look at how all of our devices might be keeping an eye on our every move!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BBC Xtra<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is another podcast that <\/span>will keep you up to date with the latest news<\/b>. <\/span>BBC Xtra<\/span><\/a> covers every story that impacts the Arabic-speaking world, so you might hear a discussion about the recent murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in one podcast, and the reformation of the Iraqi government the next. Like SBS, you can either tune in live or <\/span>listen to the daily recordings<\/span><\/a> at your leisure so you can stop and start it as often as you like.<\/span><\/p>\n

Weekly Donut<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sadly this podcast hasn't updated in a while but that doesn't mean there aren't a ton of podcasts for you to listen to. <\/span>Weekly Donut <\/span><\/a>is essentially a review site that looks at films, anime, video games, and many more things besides. <\/span>If you are looking to pick up specific language related to your favorite film, game, and so on, this podcast is ideal<\/b>. The hosts are knowledgeable and cover a wide range of genres. <\/span>Episode 51<\/span><\/i><\/a> discusses the films Logan and Guardians of the Galaxy 2, amongst others. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Universe<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is <\/span>the<\/span><\/i> podcast for space lovers everywhere. <\/span>The Universe<\/span><\/a> covers every aspect of science related to space<\/b> that you can imagine, from astronomy to astrophysics, and plenty more in between. What is really nice about this podcast is that despite its sometimes-difficult language \u2014 a great opportunity to pick up specific vocabulary \u2014<\/span> the host has a soothing, calm voice<\/b>, so even if you're tripping over words you won't feel lost or overwhelmed. <\/span>The Space Race<\/span><\/i><\/a> is a great podcast to start with that discusses the moon landing, potential colonization of other planets, and plans for a mission to Mars. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cup and Bean<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a new podcast with only a few episodes, but has the potential to become a firm favorite. <\/span>Cup and Bean<\/span><\/a> describes itself as a <\/span>weekly cultural podcast<\/b>, with subjects discussed so far including <\/span>photography, the benefits of Omega 3, and how best to communicate with animals<\/b>. This is another host with the perfect voice for learning Arabic to, calm and with an even tempo, and altogether welcoming. <\/span>Cats<\/span><\/i><\/a> is about, well. Cats. And what better way to get to know a podcast (and language) than by listening to stories about our feline friends?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So there you go! Five great podcasts to help you with learning Arabic. Time to make a choice and dive in! \u00a0And by the way, you might be interested in <\/span>taking 1-on-1 Arabic classes<\/span><\/a> at some point.

As a writer, I get to cover a range of topics by working for a variety of clients in a number of industries. My focus when writing for Listen and Learn is on language and travel, but away from that, I like to write a lot about animals and the environment. Travelling while writing gives me a fresh perspective for all the things I write and allows me to consider everything from opposing points of view thanks to the people I meet along the way. Europe is an amazing place to travel. The countries vary so much, as do the languages, cuisines and ways of life. Though underneath all of that, travelling has really taught me that people are just people, and that we have more similarities than we do differences. We talk a lot at Listen and Learn about languages teaching us so much more than purely vocabulary and grammar, and it is true; there is nothing as exciting as getting to talk to someone you might not normally get to, just because you have made the effort to learn some of their language. Teaching English has given me further insight into the importance of understanding other languages and cultures. I've taught lessons on beaches about the climate crisis and the impact of oil spills on marine animals, and helped students in train stations to practise booking train tickets and make travel plans.
