Listening Help
Do you want to improve your listening?
Here are some things you can do:
1. Ask Julia at the front desk to borrow listening materials.
2. Watch movies in English with English Subtitles.
3. Watch TV and listen to the radio while you are doing other things. Don't try to understand, just get used to the sounds.
4. Join the English Podcast: http://www.eslpod.com/website/
5. Listen to slow, clear news from VOA: http://esl.podomatic.com/
6. Listen to people read essays and read them at NPR: http://www.thisibelieve.org/
7. Listen to stories about American Culture at This American Life: www.thislife.org
Remember! You can study grammar but you can only improve listening by practicing! The more you listen to and use English, the more quickly you will improve.
