Improve Your Listening in English

To have conversations in English, you must be able to listen and understand. You can easily start listening to sentences, then you will improve quickly.

1. Listen to Dictations - listen and try to write down exactly what you hear. Can you catch every word?

2. Listen to easy stories, such as these simple jokes. If you like those jokes, these pages have more jokes that you can download and listen to:
English jokes - mp3 files English jokes - video (wmv) files

3. As your English improves, try watching more challenging (but short!) videos originally from American and British television.

When you can understand more than 60% (approximately!) of the short videos, you are ready to watch any kind of video, movie or TV program. When you begin, try this Shadow Practice Exercise to help you pay attention and learn more.
