Listening...



Have you ever wondered, how do you start to speak your native language?

Well your parents made sounds and repeated again and gain words for you to listen you, so you need the same in English, concentrate and put attention on what the speaker is saying. What do you need? listen! not hearing and here is an important different that you should know.


According to that it's a skills and the skills are improved practicing, developing a habit. My recommendation is practice online, first practice watching TV, the news might be a good place to start, particularly if you already know the story, as you’ll be able to make sense of what the words mean more easily. Moreover having the radio on in the background is a good way of tuning in to the sounds of the English language and you may be surprised at how much you can pick up without even make notice of it. Then do some exercise online to realize how you are growing with it. 

There are some pages in which you can listen a song and at the same time you complete some spaces that they have in order to catch what word is missing on the song lyrics. Place on a quiet room or listen with headphones an interview, a podcast, a song, also you can record your English class and then listen it in your house in a more tranquil way. Finally a like to recommend you an useful page that I use to listen about different topics, they have powerful talks, lectures with people spreading their ideas, so take a look of TED.
Get concentrate and be a good listener...
