Improve your English Listening Online

After many years of studying English, many of you can still not have a conversation in English.

Your first problem is usually that you can't speak clearly and fluently, so you should try to improve your speaking. Your second problem is usually a listening problem.
You either (a) know the vocabulary but you can't recognise it or (b) you don't know the vocabulary.


(a) To practice recognising the words, you should

  • Select an English audio or video clip with script or subtitles.
  • Listen to the clip and write down what you hear. Listen a few times, and if it's too fast, slow it down (most media players can).
  • Check your writing with the script or subtitles.
  • Listen again and learn the pronunciation of the words that you couldn't hear at first.

    (b) For the new vocabulary you should then
    • Try to guess the meaning from the story ("context clue") first. It helps if you know what the story is about.
    • Use a dictionary.
    • Write down or mark the new words with an example sentence for later review.
    Start with easy listening at for example ESL Cyber Listening Lab. When you're better, you can practice your listening with e.g. songs, films and news.

    Improve your English Listening with Songs

    Using English songs is a fun way to expand your English vocabulary and improve your listening.

    Get a song. Most of you probably already have a favourite song in English, but if you don't have one, start listening to for example Live365 or SHOUTcast online radio.
    These radio stations show the artist and title while a song is playing. Once you've selected your song, buy your own copy or find it on YouTube and download it with the free RealPlayer Download

    Use the lyrics. Play the song a few times and try to write down the text. To check whether you heard it right you need the lyrics (song text). There are many web sites to download the lyrics, but A-Z Lyrics and Lyrics007 usually provide good quality.

    Find the meaning. Looking up the song meaning can help you understand the song better. Try to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words from the context ("context clue"). If you still have no idea, use a learner's or slang dictionary to find the meaning.

    Sing along. Now play the song again and sing along, so that you also practice the pronunciation of your song. A karaoke version of the video may be available online. Look for example at my playlist "Subtitled Hits 2013"  for some recent hits.
