have you ever had to ask someone to

repeat something you couldn’t understand

that shouldn’t

I’m sorry can I ask you to repeat the

first part of it you went really fast

and I I’ve had a hard time

whether it’s because they’re talking too

fast they have an unfamiliar accent or

they’re using slang words you don’t

recognize it can be hard to really hear

what people are saying right

here’s the thing what you hear in real

conversations is often completely

different from what you learn at school

and this is why it is so important to

master your listening skills

so I’m sharing five techniques to help

you practice and improve your listening

skills

I hope after watching this you’ll feel

more confident about joining

conversations and communicating in

English

study natural pronunciation

this is one of the best ways to improve

your active listening skills

now let me be clear I’m not talking

about studying pronunciation as you

would at school

I’m talking about recognizing and paying

attention to the sounds of English as it

is actually spoken

because real spoken English isn’t always

what you expect

sometimes sounds blend together they

change they can even disappear

completely

for example, in school you may have been

taught to hear

what do you want to

do but while listening to a native

English speaker what you actually hear

is something like

what do you want to do

it can be super confusing right

so how can you overcome these real world

listening challenges

it’s all about studying the elements of

naturally spoken English including

contractions reduced forms sentence

stress and intonation

you will learn how to overcome these

challenges by the end of this video

practice every day

create the habit of listening to English

for 15 minutes daily even if you’re busy

and you don’t have much time

you can listen while driving to work or

school exercising or doing housework

now what should you listen to

ted talks are brilliant resources to

improve your listening

here’s what to do go to the ted website

and choose a topic that interests you

after all you’re more likely to enjoy

and absorb what you hear if you actually

find it interesting

the best thing about ted talks is that

every video has an interactive

transcript that allows you to follow the

script as the speaker speaks

while seeing the word as you read you

also hear it being spoken

when you come across new words you can

pause the video and practice saying them

aloud in the same natural way it was

spoken on screen

here are three additional sites with

great audio and accompanying text

voa special English for American English

news

bbc six minute English for British

English news and lifestyle

ello.org for dialogues and conversations

in many different accents of English

the links are mentioned in the

description

practice the right way

what does this mean

well, there’s a right way and a wrong way

to practice English listening

the wrong way to do English listening

practice is to

try to listen once

get frustrated while facing new words

so, you give up and stop practicing after

the first try

to practice smartly the first step is to

relax and know that it’s completely

normal to have limited understanding the

first time you listen

you need to listen at least three times

the first time for the general topics

don’t try to understand every word just

try to understand the main ideas

listen again and now try to understand

some more specific details

again, remember that it’s okay not to

catch every word

listen the third time while reading the

transcript

now you can pay attention to the

individual words and see if your

previous understanding was correct

this type of listening from more general

to more specific is the most effective

way to practice and improve your English

listening ability

why not give it a go

I’d love to know what you think

write what you hear

this strategy is simple practical and

very effective especially if you follow

these specific steps

step 1

choose a 30 second section of a video

podcast or ted talk

step 2

listen to that section a couple of times

no writing yet just listening

this step is all about familiarizing

yourself with the topic along with the

speaker’s accent and the tone and pace

of their voice

step 3

now it’s time to pick up your pen and

write

listen to the first sentence then pause

the video and write down what you hear

repeat this exercise one sentence at a

time until you have finished the 30

second video

if there are some sounds you don’t

recognize don’t rewind it

instead, simply leave a gap on your page

once you reach the end listen to the

entire 30 second section again and try

to fill in any

gaps try looking at the words around the

gap

can you guess what could go there

the brilliant thing about this method is

that unlike the other tips this one

helps you to discover exactly what you

are not hearing

in other words, it highlights the gaps in

your listening ability the words and

expressions that you need to learn and

recognize more instinctively and helps

you to fill in those gaps in your

knowledge

watch without subtitles

now I know what you’re thinking watching

a video in English without subtitles is

a hard work right

but it can be a great way of practicing

and strengthening your active listening

skills

after all there are no subtitles in real

life

but don’t worry I’m not asking you to

struggle through an entire movie without

subtitles

just like in all the previous strategies

the key here is to start small

every time you sit down to watch a movie

turn off the subtitles for the first

minute

it means one minute of training your

active listening skills before you can

passively enjoy your movie

pause the movie after one minute and

write down a quick summary of what you

heard just a summary not every word

repeat this step if you want to

then go back to the start turn on the

subtitles in English and read them for

the entire minute to check that you

understood the meaning correctly

it is a great habit to get into if you

are hooked on a tv series

it’s a little easier to do this

consistently if you are familiar with

the actors’ accents and storyline

so, there you have it

five practical techniques that you can

implement in your daily routine to

practice and improve your English

listening skills
