Welcome to the Culips English Podcast!
There are plenty of English podcasts out there, but our English as a second language (ESL) podcast is for people who want to have fun while learning natural, everyday English, focusing on idioms, expressions, and slang. We always speak English as it’s actually used in day-to-day life, and we give you plenty of explanations of new or interesting terms along the way. At Culips, we’re excited about culture and language!
Our English language podcast is for learners of all levels and ages. Each episode takes you out of the classroom and introduces you to common slang, natural expressions, and interesting vocabulary. Culture is also an important part of Culips, and we want you to get to know us!
By becoming a member of Culips English Podcast, you can learn even more from each episode. Culips Members have access to extra learning materials. As a member, you’ll get a written transcript for each of our episodes, so you can follow along while listening or review the text separately. You’ll also get detailed explanations of new or interesting vocabulary, with additional examples and cultural advice. After all that, you can take the quiz for each episode to see how much you’ve learned. And of course, our English podcast is designed to help you with your listening comprehension too!
We’re a group of friends in Montreal, Canada who thought it would be fun to create an English podcast for people learning the language. We all have experience teaching English and learning other languages, and we know just how challenging and rewarding that can be. We wanted to make an ESL podcast that focuses on the fun stuff: culture and expressions.
So what are you waiting for? Get started learning with Culips now!

In this episode, Harp and Maura talk about a few expressions you might use when you feel scared. They also talk about how to get over your fears, and they share some of their own. What are you afraid of?
