Radio Garden

Principal function(s): Streaming/radio services

Radio Garden is a suitable tool for students to practise and improve their pronunciation and listening skills by listening to music, interviews and much more in different languages. Users just have to click on the desired part of the world where to “travel” and select a radio station from the offered list. Specific radio stations can also be searched. Evaluation: Radio Garden is a great online app for language learners to expose themselves to authentic audio material such as songs or interviews in the language(s) they are learning. The only drawback is that the mobile app contains pop-up ads. The web version does not require signing up, making surfing on the platform completely effortless.

Cost: Free
