Simple English with Reuben Constantine
By Reuben Constantine
A podcast designed for people who’re learning English with an intermediate level. Hi! My name’s Reuben, a student from the UK with a passion for languages. I love languages and travelling, and I have used countless podcasts as a way to learn languages. I decided I would start my own podcast to help students of English by giving them interesting content that they can enjoy and improve their language while they listen.
