What's an EFFECTIVE way to improve your English listening? Join my Listening Course (50% off this week) to improve your skills step by step!

👂 Here's how the listening lessons work:

1. Before the listening, I'll pre-teach some key vocabulary, so that you won't be completely "lost" when hearing new words. 2. Listen the first time for the general idea only. 3. Listen again, now trying to understand the specific ideas. 4. Listen again, now trying to get specific words. 5. Finally, listen a last time with a transcript – to clear up any doubts and understand 100%.

This method works because it's ACTIVE LISTENING that helps you make progress towards understanding everything.
