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.

That shows that you have a good level. Watch my latest video to learn how to advance in the right way😍
Yes, its true. His speaking more like original british , its so beautiful.
Hey anybody interested to Hv conversation in English...??
Po..acho q é brasileira.

Hey,Jack.
You're such a talented teacher.
I got massive improvements in listening comprehension cuz of you.Thanks so much.😗
This video is all about generosity! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! 🙏👏💚💛🇧🇷
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.

@@eddyrayland3720 thank you for suggestion.
Lý Phối Nghi vn :))
if you were able to listen this video then you're not pre intermediate but upper intermediate!
@@shahar26 I understand what he says in the video but it's a problem for me to speak. test showed I'm at a lower intermediate level.
I was kind of relieved to hear that even native speakers are struggling to listen to English music or movies, because I've felt just like that even after my English got improved.
I was feeling the same thing
This is so true!
The same thing happen in my native language. We should try something sporken clear. The most important thing is understanding native speaker when we have conversation. This is way easy than watching movie lol
Man is way too hard watch movies without subtitles even in our native languages, imagine in english hahahah
Great work! 👍🏻 Already liked, subscribed and shared with my younger brother. He’s planning to take IELTS test for further studies.
Very good class. Thank you, teacher!
I could understand everything you said. your way of speaking is perfect!
I read english subtitles and understand
@@grtgst Right, but if you want to perfect your listening, it's better to turn off subtitles
@@joaquindesalazar8220 i started to watch this channel yesterday and i don't understand without subtitles

you are just perfect !thanks so much ! I love hearing you while I do others tasks! have a nice one !
Thank you for this helpful video
Your speech so clear and I can understand you perfectly.
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!
Thank you a lot Jack! You are the best one!
Thank you so much. You speak very well and i understand you better
Wow I cant believe that! I just found your channel when I have struggle to learn about listening skills in English. Without subtitles, I can understand about everything what did you say. Thanks Jack! I am new fans of your channel from Indonesia :)
Eres muy generoso con este canal, mil gracias. En mi caso me desafío a ver este canal, porque al principio esperaba subtitulos en ingles. Tan solo leerlo entendía más cuando alguien habla pero como dices escuchar tanto como se posible.. es lo que hago, paso por etepas pero voy a continuar hasta entender más. 👍🏻
You are the best of teachers!! I'm so happy because I can undesrtand most of do you speak!
It's really clear to understand your accent appreciate it
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.

Hello Jack , I am trying learn this module for a long time but no one ,no one really could interpret the subject so beautifully.
My heart felt gratitude for your kind helps. Thank you
Hello. Answering your last question about the resources we use, almost a year after being this video released, I feel quite awkward. But anyway: I'm advanced (I hope) and what I do a lot is read in English any books I want (not adapted ones, just books), watch series and films in English and also I often listen to the podcast of your fellow English teacher Luke Thompson “Luke’s English podcast”. I've recently bumped into your channel and found it great. Thank you.
Thanks very much. You speak clearly. Thanks for help me .
This video is amazing. I felt as a British when I was listening to you. Thank you 🙌
Until last week, my only resource to listen english was the "tedx talks" on youtube. But since this weekend, i started Watch ( and to listen ) your videos and it is great i have to say! Achraf from Algiers, Algeria 🇩🇿
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!
thanks a lot for the tips,you are a good person.
Súper good , thanks 👍
I could understand about 95% of what you said on this video. Last year I didn't understand almost anything , so this year , 20 January I guess I stated watching videos in English every day from 6 PM to 11:30 PM , and it's helped a lot with my listening and my pronunciation , sometimes I can't get across what I feel, it's crazy for me to understand 95% native English Speaker , I studied American English, but I prefer British one .
But sometimes when I am speaking it seems like I can't find the right words . But I will improve my English
Hi Jack, I'm allegedly very closed to reach C1 level and my favorite source of English audio is TED channel on YT, because I prefer listening to different types of objects, and many of performers there are non-native speakers who are, in my opinion, easier to understand. Have a nice day!
This is very useful and 20 minutes worth of my time. Thank you.
thank you very much. very useful & easy to understand. hv a nice day.
Thank you for the outstanding and informative video lesson.
My level? I could understand every word you said except for the "graded reader," that I'll look up in the dictionary.
I could even follow you without missing a word at 1,75 speed.
Every day, driving to work for about 40 minutes, I tune my car radio on BBCWorld News, and I basically get the meaning of every topic.
I sometimes struggle with some weird accents, as when I try to follow conversations between Irish and Scottish people (pilots, crew members, etc.). I work at Ryanair Training Center in Milano (Orio al Serio) airport; such conversations are quite frequent.
My level is somewhat between a B1 and a B2 level in English.My currently approach in order to improve my language includes watching tv and listening as much as I can in my target language English.I listened to the whole Harry Potter series and as I finished I started to listen to them again.I read HP1 and now I extending my English universe to other fields and topics. I watch Scrubs,How I met your mother,Malcolm and other stories where I‘m familiar with.The more I hear the more it feels naturally .Every video I watch is in English it doesn’t matter what ,my native language German is dead at least in terms of media consumption.Unfortunately it doesn’t help me with my speaking skills, therefore they‘re terrible.
You are good teacher...i can your every word and meaning what you said...thanks for tips..
Very nicely said thank you friend
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!😊
Thank you! Have you tried imitating English speakers in these areas?
@@tofluency still trying. Do you have video that specially explain about linking word, relax pronunciation and reduction? I really love your teaching style
I've always found very difficult to understand songs and movies in english, but I didn't know this happens to natives speakers too 😮
I understood everything you said. I love it so much good job ☺️
Sir, you are amazing...i understand everything you said...🙌🙌
Excellent tips. For instance, listen to English on the radio is the most difficult task for me, as well as some phrasal verbs that the only way to study is by heart. Thanks for the video.
👏👏 Ano que vem quero voltar neste vídeo,e entender tudo que você está dizendo,sem legenda!🙏 Vou deixar marcado:14/05/23 😂
Thank you so much!!!
thank you so much for sharing us the knowledge,,
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!
Currently, I'm struggling with understanding TV shows and movies, I mean in sitcoms like "friends" for example, I understand everything, but sometimes when watching a movie I get lost, and I feel like they're just talking gibberish and mumbling. Did you ever come that dilemma and overcome it somehow?
Thank,s
I really appreciate your effort in this outstanding video 😍 thanks a bunch!

Thank'u so much, you're incrediable teacher and you know for these, is impourtend for advanced my english skills
Thank you,
It was useful 🌷
For me a really good exercise to improve all the skills at the same time is "transcription". Just take and audio as for example the one of this video and write all what the speaker says and then speak aloud at the same time that you are reading what you typed. It is a really good process to internalize the language.
I use this method also and it's very effective.
Yeah! That's true! agree with you.
"Transliteration" I think that's the word.
@@eleuttherus that's when someone transcript something in the letters of another language
I just understood everything you said in this video. So nice. I'm from Argentina (spanish language) btw.

Your tips are useful. I will implemented as soon as possible.
Thank you so much to motivated me
Hello! I think my English level is Medium. I have to speak in English in my work, so for me this is very useful. In my book I have learned a lot by watching videos with English subtitles, because in some cases it is easier to identify words that you don't know and then search for the meaning.
Thanks for the new knowledge!
If it comes to alter what helps me the most I would definitely say that podcasts (especially BBC English, TED), youtube channels (like yours, Papa Teach Me, ETJ English, Learn English With TV Series) but as well reading books and then listening to the ones I read, watching movies and TV series (rly vital to start with the level you are able to understand and then one step at a time enhance the level of difficulty). Nevertheless, this is not going to help if you do not work consistently. Consistency is a key to learn anything. Do not ever dare to give up, since it is going to be just worse.
Thanks for everything u said💚💚
The point about consistency is correct 👌
Thank you ❤
Your videos and how you speaking are touch my heart.i always listen carefully your way to lern eng
I never had seen your channel before, I like so much your video and your explanation. Thanks!!!
Very effective coaching for English learning students and people. Thank you so much. Stay safe and healthy
Thanks a lot. I'm from Bangladesh.
Sou Brasileiro e estou começando agora. Estou com pouco de dificuldade, mas sei que conseguirei chegar lá!
Thank you so much. Great video
Excellent video blessings
Thank you so much for your useful lesson. Listening as much as possible that you mentioned is very correct. I will be listening to the resources that are enjoyable and specific to me. I am really grateful to you for teaching me how to find resources so that I can practice listening in a productive way.
Are you interested to joining in a group to improve our English language
I can totally understand you, I can even understand more advanced English speeches with a more complex vocabulary and syntax as long as they are slowly and clearly demonstrated as you did
.
but when it comes to watching movies or tv series I struggle a ton to be able to distinguish or recognize their words even when their speech is at the most basic level of vocabulary and sentence structure
what I'm doing right now is to keep watching and listening, maybe over time I'll be able to acquire it, but no promising results seem to be looming
I ENJOY your way to teach us!
Is very infomative thaqu sir
