Can English Listening Practice Be Thought-Free?This site is all about your English listening practice.You can learn new words, expressions, and even grammar by listening. Is This Site for YOU?This site is for you because:
This site has four main sections
You can access the English listening practice pages from the main page
for each section. The English listening practice pages have two main parts: the upper
section which is a short article giving study hints, and
the lower
section which the listening practice area itself.
It has the
target vocabulary, the recorded story (audio and sometimes video), and
the story in text form.
You may enjoy my stories and still feel you want to practice making your own stories. Do that on this site. Get your own story recorded here. You can write your own story and listen to it ... what a great way to practice English! You will find your English speaking skills improving as you practice listening to the stories like I recommend below. Take a look through the pages on this site for ideas on how to study and learn English. You will find good stories for listening practice on almost every page of this site.Intensive ListeningWhen I was learning a language, at first, I could not repeat what I heard. Then after lots of listening practice (intensive listening), I could remember what I heard. Then I started to get much better at speaking! I learned how to master intenstive listening practice... and you can too! My students also want to learn English faster. At first they said listening to English was too hard... ...and now, they ask for more English listening practice in my classes! Why Don't People Repeat Things for You?
Or remember it. You may ask people to repeat what they said, but usually they don't.
They usually
repeat things slightly differently. I wanted to hear the exact same words as they said
the first time, again and again. What Can You Do?
The first time you listen to the stories, it is ok to think about the meaning. You may also read the story (the script is below the story). The next step is to listen without thinking (really!). At this stage you want to start the listen and repeat program. Thinking comes later. (Of course you have to think! But first you have to make your memory longer). If you can't understand the first time, you can listen again and again.I made recordings of stories with
the words we are studying.
Now, you can get English listening practice when you listen
to them too.
1. Find your needs 4. Listen and Repeat 5.
Listen and
Repeat Simultaneously
If you make a mistake (for instance, saying a word not in the story, or forgetting a word), you will know right away. That is great! Now you know which area to study and repeat. 6.
