Hawaii Advanced English

Resources for Continuing to Improve Your English


NPR delivers breaking national and world news. Also top stories from business, politics, health, science, technology, music, arts and culture. NPR is National Public Radio and is a wealth of material for listening to everything in English. There are thousands of podcasts and radio programs that will help you with new vocabulary, grammar and of course, intonation and stress for pronunciation.

TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It has hundreds of video presentations in English with Russian or English subtitles (if you want) and also an interactive transcription that you can follow along with also. It’s a great resource for the same reasons I mentioned about NPR.

You can join or start a practice group for any level of English (and many other languages as well) for free here. Most are non-native speakers like yourself trying to improve their English.

Thousands of podcasts for endless hours of learning, practicing and listening.
