Practice Listening to English Firsthand in This Story ![]() Listening to English firsthand is perhaps the best way to learn. I started practicing my Japanese when I lived in Canada. I learned from a book, had no Japanese friends, and no one to talk with in Japanese. When I came to Japan, I could not speak Japanese. But I could speak a bit after one year. I was listening to Japanese firsthand. You can listen to many speakers of English and they will all help you, but the best speakers are native speakers. The story on this page is read by a native speaker (myself!). If you listen to the same story several times, then switch to another story and listen several times, and then keep switching, you are getting lots of practice with English firsthand. All the stories are written and read by me, a native speaker. Please feel free (after all, it's free!) to listen as often as you would like to these stories as you study phrasal verbs. Come back often! Catching On1. take up to occupy oneself with the study or practice of 2. catch on to understand; perceive. 3. pick up to make progress; improve 4. leave over to leave something for a while with plans to do or get later 5. wipe off remove by wiping ![]() You can get your own copy of this recording in mp3 format here - (at no charge).
