kakun The Economist is a publication that I've highly recommended for people trying to improve their English. Despite the political slant, it's still one of the best publications for this purpose, and I recommended it long before they created the audio edition. Now that the audio version exists, it's an incredible additional learning tool to help with pronunciation, and just hearing the spoken language, possibly following along with the written text. It would be nice to see The Economist pdfs back here soon!
