How is your English listening? Think about some situations:
1) You talk one-on-one with a native speaker, who uses simple language because they realise it is more difficult for you.
2) You talk one-to-one with a native speaker, who uses simple language, but you are talking on the phone.
3) You talk one-on-one with a native speaker, who speaks at full speed and uses idioms or slang.
4) You listen to a group of native speakers talking among themselves.
How much do you think you could understand in these three situations? Even when you've studied a language for years, situations like (3) and (4) can still be difficult. In this lesson, we're going to look at some simple ways you can make English listening easier, and improve your ability to understand spoken English.
