How to learn LISTENING

1. How to learn LISTENING
Listen to the radio
Don't always have a pen in hand. Sometimes it helps to just listen.


Watch English TV
Children's programming is very useful for ESL learners.
Choose programs that you would enjoy in your own language.
Remember that much of what you hear on TV is slang.


Call Automated Answering Machine recordings
You can find these numbers at the front of telephone books in many English-speaking countries. Before you dial, make sure that you are calling the free numbers.


Watch movies
Choose ones with subtitles, or one from ESLNotes.com (provides useful notes on popular movies).


Use Internet listening resources
Every day there are more and more places to listen to English online.
