學英文不用背單字 Learn By Listening

Focus: Past Simple vs. Present Continuous

Intro:
Hello! I am Teacher Duncan. 
Welcome to our English story time.  In this episode, I invited a student to record an epsidoe with me. She’s a B1 student.  Because she’s in a higher level, we will speak a liitle faster than usual.  If you don’t catch everything the first time, you can press rewind and listen to our dialogue again!  Are you ready?  Let’s go.

Teacher: Welcome back to the podcast! I’m here with a very special guest today. Her name is Shani.  Shani, how are you feeling today?

Shani: Honestly? I’m exhausted.

Teacher: Exhausted? But Chinese New Year just finished! Didn't you relax?

Shani: Relax? No way! Yesterday was the first day of school. I had to wake up at 6:30 AM. I forgot how to use a pen. I think my brain is still on vacation.

Teacher: (Laughs) I know the feeling. My brain is also eating red envelopes and dumplings right now. Did you do anything fun during the break?

Shani: I traveled to Kaohsiung with my family. It was so warm! I ate so much street food that I think I grew two centimeters.

Teacher: Just two centimeters? That’s not bad. I think I grew two centimeters just from eating pineapple cakes!

Shani: (Giggles) At least you don't have math homework today, Teacher.

Teacher: That is true. Okay, let’s check if the listeners were paying attention!


Outro:
That is the end of our story. Good job!
Now, can you answer the three questions? Listen again if you need to.

What is 學英文不用背單字 Learn By Listening?

Stop memorizing, start listening! Welcome to Learn By Listening, the English podcast designed specifically for young learners who want to understand English naturally. We believe that children learn best through stories, not word lists.

In each episode, we filled stories with mystery, humor, and fun characters. Whether it’s meeting a "tall ghost" who is actually just Grandpa, or traveling to a sunny day in Nara with a magic kimono, our stories use simple language that students can actually follow.

What makes us different?

Context over Lists: We use vocabulary from the standard curriculum (like family, feelings, and weather) but put them into exciting plots.

Perfect for ESL: Spoken clearly and at a pace that helps non-native speakers gain confidence.

Short & Sweet: Every episode is under 5 minutes—perfect for a morning listen or a bedtime story.

Join us and discover that you don't need to memorize words to speak English—you just need to listen!

我們的特色:

情境學習: 拒絕死背!在故事中自然理解單字用法。

難易適中: 專為英語初學者設計,語速清晰流暢,建立孩子的聽力自信。

輕鬆無負擔: 每集不到 5 分鐘,隨時隨地都能練習。
