English with Lucy, Today I want to talk
Here’s how you can improve
English listening skills, so I have
Some guidelines that I will give you if
I followed all my advice to the skill of hearing English
You must be able
To start understanding the speakers
More easily and more effectively
We have a lot to cover the lesson
So let’s start, there is a word
I’ll use them a lot in this
Lesson, it’s diverse and I want you to
Uses a wide range of sources, listening
For a wide range of dialects as well. Why?
Well I know a lot of you come to me and
“I want to learn British English,” he says
And for that I will only listen
For British speakers, but in my opinion
This is not the right thing to do
You will get to know people from all over
The world with all different dialects, and
You will need to understand them
You do not just want to be able to
Understand the British people, even if you are
Do not do it already
I want you to listen to many dialects
As much as possible, when I do it
I want you to think about different
Votes per tone, I’ve made
Video Beautiful Anna English – Girl Learn English –
As local crooks, around the differences
Among our dialects, a lot of students
They found that this is very useful, because
That there is no one way
To speak English there are lots of
Differences, differences by region
Differences by country, I mean English
Operative in New Zealand is very different
About English spoken in America for example
So you’ll be able to recognize more
Or at least a few things, and also diversify
Your English language, with a focus on the diverse word
Again I want to talk to you about
Resources for the next point, I want you
Ask yourself a question and I want you to
You answer honestly, how many
From the time you really specialize to
Exercise and improve your listening
Answer, most honestly
The students I asked them say between 1-2
Hours, and even that
It may be a little overrated
Now, I admit you
Maybe I do not exercise enough, I want
From you to start practice frankly
Practice leads to perfection
You will not wake up suddenly and
Be perfect in listening, so take time
Takes dedication and is called skill
For some reason is the thing that you have
To develop the foundation on your own
Also with the help of others, but what they are
Practice listening? you can ask me
Well I’ve got lots of suggestions
is yours
What brings me to the next point
Resources and most importantly is diversity
Resources, now the most obvious is
Watch TV shows or movies
This is great, but I think you are
You can take it a step further
You may see programs with
Translation in English
This is good but do not want to depend
On translations, I want you to learn
With your ears and not with your eyes
Well who suggested you to take
Your next level is watching
Every program or movie twice, most likely
More achievable with short programs
I want to recommend that you target
Something to be less than 30 minutes
You can try comedy like ‘Friends’
He is American English or maybe the BBC
News and you can only watch
The headlines will be British English
Pronunciation so I want you to watch it
For the first time with no translations you see how much you are
Can understand then I want you to
Watch it again with subtitles and see
Unless you pick up and do not
Pick up and then notice it next time
Do not be afraid to bring things back
Again, again
Learn the sound patterns we use
If you’ve got a listening exam or you
We will have a telephone call
Or some sort of telephone interview
You will not be able to read
The lips of a person can be really helpful
So you really must exercise
Listen blindly so one really really
Good advice often gets overlooked is
Use audio books
Reading is great for your building
Vocabulary but does not do much for
Your listening skills, because what to
The book does not offer you is
Pronunciation guide
Usually I’m sure some only that there is no doing this
I would like you to start listening to
Select the audiobook book that is
Interesting and important for you to judge
Of your level if you are ok
Low-level book selection for children to
More slowly maybe something goes for
Adolescents If You Are Advanced
Obviously go for something aimed
In adults or maybe have a lot of
Technical language Remember that if you
You want to achieve your understanding
You can always buy the book as well
Listen to a section and then read it
Listen to another one and then read this
Is a great way to improve your
Listen and understand the best site
The cassette is inaudible, if you are
Click the link in the Description box
You can get free audio books and
30 days trial There is absolutely no catch
So try it out and see if it works for
You are
One supplier often gets overlooked
Non-YouTube users I’m not talking about us
A beautiful bouquet of English language teachers online
Which is all over YouTube right now
Although I think we can help you
A little bit with your listening
You have amazing resources full of
Free videos and listening tools find
Something you are interested in
Maybe you want to gossip
Science Celebrity Current Affairs
Look for it in English and in the beginning
Listen to it The next point is multiple
Task unlike reading or watching TV
Listening is something you can do
While you do something else
So once you’ve found the ideal resources
Start building a type of package from
Resources on your smartphone or your own
The computer you can take with you is up
If you have a long journey of cars on
Road to work in public transport while
You do something else like cooking
Something you do not have to focus on
To listen to
Something in English which links
On my question how long do you
Devoting reality to your practice
English I say that you spend half an hour
Travel to work every day and a half
Hour travel home every day, and
You can listen to something in English for
The total of these flights per week
You will play five hours of
This listening exercise is amazing
If you do it definitely will
Improved in no time
The really great thing is that you are
Do something productive and maybe
Learning about another topic through
English usually do so
It’s really a win-win situation
My next advice does not translate
Translate when you are talking to
Someone in person I want you to listen
For context I always say something to my own
Students are not fluent over how accurate I am now
They speak fluent Spanish but I do not
Speak 100 percent accurately
They have no problems with listening
I have no problems understanding and I am
They do not have problems with networking however
If I were to film me speaking Spanish
Analyze all errors that i
Make you find quite a few of it really
It is important to understand that you do not
Need it to be ideal do not need to
Understand every single word you need to
Understanding context and general meaning
If you spend a lot of time analyzing
Every word is a conversation or a monologue
I moved on by that time
I finally understood which word I was
Focus on what you really are then to
Catch up and lose understanding of it
Instead of listening word by word listening
To the phrases as a whole
My next advice is to learn speech patterns
Well I want you to look at how
People speak the way we write
Something is definitely not the way
Which we say
English is not a voice language
We do not always follow our own
Pronunciation rules are what research can do
You can do well you can look at a homophone
For example these are the words that they have
Exactly the same pronunciation but different
Spelling and meanings
I’ve actually got a video out
On the homogeneous very soon which will
Place in the Example Description box
The homeophone will be bear and bare
Same but different spelling and meaning
You can also look at the minimum pairs
The minimum pairs are the words that they have
Exactly the same pronunciation apart from
One vowel seems an example of
That the minimum pair shall be the ship and the sheep
Ship the sheep so that the same thing but
Vowel sound is different on it too
It is important to understand weak forms
So we have strong models of words, we
We also have weak forms for example
Word in on its own but say in
Sometimes if I use it in the sentence
Or in a conversation I am talking too
Quickly say that with a hidden voice
Looks like I will not say at 3:00 i
Will say at 3 am is important
After realizing that the sound is hidden
It can represent many vowels you also need to
Look at the discounts I’ve got on every video
About I want to cuts and will work that
It is also in the Description box that you will
Really help you especially if you
Want to use these I know that many of you do
It’s a very quick way to make
Yourself seems more original as well
I’ll cramps I’ll do it
She cares about me important to learn
This I also make a video on
So cramps when this is what i downloaded
I will also put that in description
Box so that it’s all about how to drill
