DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE YOUR UNDERSTANDING IN ENGLISH WITH 15 MINUTES PER DAY

You know the situation. You are in a meeting, or a conversation in English and although you can defend yourself and say what you need to say, you have problems understanding the other person.

This makes you shy and quiet, and you lose confidence.

The key is to improve your understanding of English as well as your spoken English ability.

When I worked in an office, I used to listen to the radio to improve my Spanish.

30 minutes a day in total listening to RNE 1 and it made a BIG difference to my understanding (of Spanish and of current affairs!). And I wasn´t even concentrating hard on it as I was thinking about the traffic, my work, kids, etc etc.

So I was maybe concentrating for 50% of the time.

But in the year I did this, I would say my understanding improved by at least one level.

So I highly recommend passive listening every day as a way to improve your understanding.

Do this over a period of time and you will see a difference.

Try to have a set time every day to listen to English.

Maybe you travel alone in the car. Or maybe when you exercise. Or even while doing some tasks at home.

Find something you like listening to / a radio station, a Youtube channel, or a podcast.
