Our audio magazines

Why learners subscribe

Real, up-to-date reading

Culture, travel, current affairs and everyday life – the language as it is used today, not as it is in a textbook.

Graded by level

Articles are graded on the CEFR scale, so you can choose what suits you and see your progress. What do the levels mean?

Listen as you read

Each issue comes with audio of the key articles, read by professional native-speaking narrators – on CD or as an MP3 download.

No-quibble guarantee

If a magazine isn’t for you, tell us within two months of your first issue: we’ll refund your subscription in full, and you keep the issue.
