Englishplayer.com - just some training in english listening.

We have been collecting some videos and subtitles so that you could practice a little in english speech listening and comprehension. We tried to make this resource useful for advanced english learners, and therefore there are no simple exercises, just real world conversations from news, movies, and cartoons. If you find our videos too complex, then there are many other resources like elllo.org where you can many get simpler lessons .

Every time you visit this page we randomly select one of the videos. We do so because we think that most users of this web site do not care what to listen as long as it is real life english. So whenever you feel you feel like learning a little just go to the main page and if you are lucky then there is something new. This text is written for web search. We had to put it here so that you had at least some chance to find us at all.
