If you are like one of 1.5 billion students learning English today, you are always looking for more ways to improve. In this blog we have already spoken about some of the most effective ways to improve your English learning, including fun methods and proven techniques. One of those techniques is simply LISTENING. Sounds easy, right?

Listening is one of those skills that many people don’t do very well in their everyday life. With everyone’s attention being constantly fought over between phone screens, computer screens, television screens and of course work, school, kids, friends and all the other things we have to do every day, we have lost the art of truly listening. The age of the soundbite and  2-minute video has taught us to take information in quick, small doses that are already analysed for us. In one TED talk about the topic, sound expert Julian Treasure even claims “we are losing our listening.”

But it remains true that listening is one of the most effective, and probably underused, techniques for improving your English learning. Why?

Because listening is the way our brain naturally takes in language. The repetition of words and sounds, social situations and vocabulary for different subjects, as well as linking an experience and/or an emotion to the conversation, causes our brain to remember language naturally— just like we do when we learn as children.
