The Procrastination Podcast
The perfect podcast for English learners who can't be bothered to study and do their homework, but still want to practise their English. Come and chill with me, Emma, from the channels Pronunciation with Emma and Procrastination with Emma, while I talk about various topics to expose you to natural English, just as if you were sitting in the pub with me with a nice cold cider.
