App Description

The app for vocabulary development based on a great podcast channel English as a Second Language (ESL) Podcast from www.eslpod.com. If you learn English and like this podcast you can now have an app to focus on key words from the episodes. Each word or phrase is linked to the context from a podcast episode. The audio and built-in online translator are available! There is also an option to download the episodes for offline using.

Three modes of the listening: slow, fast and explanation.
Cards and matrix layout.
You can jump from a word to the full dialogue of an episode.
Text of the dialogue is interactive: touch any sentence to run playing.

Note #1. We provide additional timing markup for each episode so not all episodes are interactive yet but this is a work in progress. Check label "interactive" beside each episode. We do not keep any copyrighted material. All audio and text of the dialogues come from the free RSS channel.

Note #2. This is an "unofficial" app just from eslpod.com fans.
