Learn English by Listening: Can You Hear These
Words?
If
you want to learn English to speak it, then you must learn by
listening. This is the only way to truly master the
fundamental parts of the langauge.
reading is a distant second. Reading is processed in a
different part of the brain and most often creates descriptive
memories. These memories are good for talking about English,
but they are far too slow for actual speaking.
If you want to speak English you must learn to listen. Many
students complain that this takes a lot of time, and they don't have
time.
What they don't realize is that by spending their time studying, they
are actually wasting precious time. reading study will not
turn into a productive knowledge of English.
Reading builds a great vocabulary. but often these students
cannot use the words to make good sentences.
Why??
Grammar is not stored in descriptive memories.
Grammar is stored in procedural memories. If you want to
learn English, you must learn by listening. Listening will
build many deep procedural memories.
And
you can boost your listening by doing something called shadowing.
Shadowing is:
listen to the
speaker and repeat what the speaker says as fast as the speaker says
it.
You may repeat out loud or quietly.
You may repeat everything, or only parts if you cannot understand it,
or the speaker is fast.
This method is
good for you.
It is slow in the beginning, but your learning pace speeds up.
Soon you will thing reading is too slow! And, you
will understand the movies!
Have fun as you learn English by shadowing.
