Yes, podcasts can help you with language learning. Some podcasts are designed for language learners and use simple vocabulary. Some actually will speak slowly! Most podcast players will also allow you to slow down the podcast play speed, and repeat sections easily, so that also helps you catch things you missed at normal conversation speed. Podcasts can expand your comprehension of topics and vocabulary in areas which your friends and language helpers might not use.
