EFFECTIVE ENGLISH LISTENING METHODS FOR BEGINNERS


1. The reason why you can't listen to English
You have applied many methods of English technology but all have not worked.
You are very disappointed right now. There are many reasons why you can't listen
to English forever. Here are the most common reasons.

1.1. Pressure to understand every word
This is the wrong way to learn listening that many of you make. It is very difficult
to understand every word when learning to listen.

If you try to hear every word, you will feel uncomfortable and stop listening when
you can't hear a word. At that time, you may miss the entire information of the
listening.
1.2. Limited vocabulary
This is the first reason that prevents you from listening to English effectively.
When listening, you do not understand all the content of the art, so you feel a lot of
pressure.

Alternatively, it's possible that you know and learned the word but didn't realize it
when you heard it. Because when you learn, you only see and look up the meaning,
not hear how the word is pronounced. So when you hear it you won't be able to
recognize it.

Another case is because you are not exposed to the word much. When you hear it,
you have to think for a while before you know what it means.

1.3. Not grasping grammatical structures

There are some grammars in English that are far different from Vietnamese. So
when you are not sure about grammar, your art process will be difficult. If you
encounter difficult grammar, you will not be able to understand the content of the
listening passage.

improve your listening skills more effectively.
