HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LISTENING SKILLS:

Native speakers don't understand everything they hear. It's true.

I sometimes find it difficult to understand:
- when on the phone
- when talking to people with accents I'm not used to
- when watching movies
- and when listening to music

This is going to happen to you. You'll never reach a stage where you understand everything.
But it's important to improve so that you can understand more. Here is how:

1. Improve your vocabulary and grammar: the more you know, the more you'll understand. Search for "input To Fluency" to learn how to do this.
2. Listen as much as possible: get used to the way people speak. You can listen while doing other things.
3. What you listen to is important: find audio that is enjoyable, specific to you, and comprehensible. I recommend audiobooks that have been adapted for English learners (graded readers)
4. Work on your pronunciation: if you can make the sounds in English, you'll better understand them when you hear them.
5. Have natural conversations: this is the best type of listening practice but it's more expensive and harder to find.

I encourage you to try these methods. Start today. Commit to doing more in English. Enjoy the journey.

according to British English, I would love to listen to BBC podcasts, they have a lot of programs such as English 1 minutes for the beginner, the English we speak or English 6 minutes, etc. I feel like the pronunciation of the British is super charming, I really love it.
speaking of American English, I usually listen to Rachel's English, she analysis very clearly how the native speaker says in reality.
I think my level is pre-intermediate and now most of the time I focus on speaking skills.
Thank you for reading.

So true. I've been looking for this video my entire life as a teacher. I enjoy the part where you say that understanding English is difficult even to native speakers, as that's truly encouraging to students who struggle to grasp a few words in a simple sentence. Thanks a lot dude.

First, the way you speak English is crystal clear that everyone can understand almost everything you say, I think.
Second, your tips are extremely helpful for people who is preparing for the English test like me.
Thanks a lot!

Hi jack, i love your video. I think your explanation about “listening” is more deeper than any other typical youtube video. Cheers to that! Would you explain to us how to master listening skill when it comes to linking word, relax pronunciation, reduction, etc? I found it difficult no matter how many times i listen to it. Thanks in advance. Have a great day!😊

It's marvelous to hear all this from a native speaker; I'm much more relaxed! I was really upset for not being able to understand some songs, even knowing I'm able to understand radio broadcasts, films, sitcoms, documentaries, interviews so on. Thank you for make things clear for us!

Thanks for the interesting video and, most of all, for something that really felt "eye-opening" for me, when you say that even you native speakers can find it so difficult to understand movies or music. I got a C2 Proficiency level many years ago, but listening has often been frustrating for me. If not in conversations or watching videos, surely when watching some movies (where I istinctively turn up the volume to understand and sometimes with no benefit...) or listening to songs, where I have to pay attention to get the lyrics, and also in this case not always successfully. Always telling myself in frustration "you are a C2 level, you are supposed to understand everything!"... So thank you for the suggestions to improve, but also for this "little secret"... that no native speaker had never told me before!
