Hi everyone! As you know, Telegram is not the best for longposting. So we're now exploring Teletype 🧐 Here you'll find some interesting resources to support you in your language-learning journey.
For A1-A2 (Beginner - Elementary) Learners:
At this point, practice is the essential part. It might be boring in the beginning, but you just have to practice and repeat all the time. Sources with various exercises are your best friends here.

For B1 (Intermediate) Learners:
Here, you can understand things and use them, which is why you should start shifting towards authentic materials that interest you. However, it's easy to get discouraged when you encounter a plethora of unfamiliar words. That's why you should opt for adapted and/or shorter materials.
6-Minute English: Nice topics with transcripts and vocabulary.
Simple English Listening: The name speaks for itself.
News in Levels: News articles tailored to match your English proficiency.

For B2 (Upper-Intermediate) Learners:
Well, now you're definitely able to transition to these authentic materials. Use subtitles, explore interesting topics, listen to natives and their accents. Everything may still feel challenging, but you can learn many interesting things. You just have to dive deeper, immerse yourself in the information, and you'll get used to it quite quickly.
Stuff You Should Know: variety of topics, from science to pop culture (in an engaging conversational style). Great for authentic listening practice.
BBC Worklife: Covers work-life (not surprising), personal finance, and entrepreneurship. The articles are concise and relevant to modern readers.
Easy English: Street interviews on diverse topics with people from around the world, providing real-world listening practice.
For C1 (Advanced) Learners:
You know, there's often this widely held belief that once you reach a C1 level, you don't need much practice, and it won't deteriorate. But, if you don't engage with English regularly, especially in terms of speaking, where do you think that will lead you?

We would generally suggest watching classic and contemporary literature adaptations, high-quality documentaries, BBC/PBS productions, news programs, talk shows, and interviews. However, try to gradually opt out of subtitles.
