When I was at school, my language teachers told me to listen to French or German radio to get used to hearing the language every day. But I lived in England so it wasn’t very easy to find the right channel. Of course, that was before the internet!
Nowadays, it’s easy to listen to British radio stations from anywhere in the world!
InternetRadioUK has hundreds of channels to choose from. You can search and listen to different music styles, news, arts, sport and talk radio or just choose a channel at random.
