Extra English Podcast
Made by two Canadian English teachers for English language learners, join Misha and Larissa as they discuss daily life, life in Canada, and anything else that might come up!
We are two native English speakers having relaxed, unscripted conversations — the kind you might overhear between friends. It’s not a lesson, and we’re not here to speak slowly or perfectly. We’re here to help you get comfortable with real English.
Along the way, you’ll hear natural vocabulary, common expressions, and the rhythm of everyday speech.
New episodes every week.
