I have learned English for 8 years,however,I find that my listening is not wonderful.What should I do ?

Answer 1

Listen English songs and try to write their lyrics correctly by yourself.

Answer 2

There is no easy answer to do this.

First you have to think about what it is you are trying to achieve. For example, many times when listening to CDs for language classes of English (and I am a native speaker) I can't cleary hear what is being said. Which is true for everyone.

So you are not perfect, but what does that mean. Do you want listening for business meetings, listening to classes, or hanging out with friends?

Next you have to think of your standard. In language learning the only standard should be against yourself. Learning a language is not hard, but it takes a long time. As long as tomorrow you are a little bit better than today.

Here are somethings to do.

Firstly, randomly listening to things is not really the answer, but it is worth listening to things that are fun (like music and movies, simply because it is more fun).

2nd. Choose things at the right level for you. This lets you "notice" things and improve your language skills.

3rd Vocabulary and grammar. You have to learn them, especially vocabulary. Without it you will stuggle to listen to anything. Often when stepping into new topics a person's language skills seem to disappear, because they simply don't have to words to express their ideas.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Keep on keeping on, dear. It takes native speakers of English some 16 years to even start to become proficient. And many don't make it past the standard 1,000 necessary words + a few hundred that cannot be used in polite society.

So chin up! You're doing just fine!

Answer 4

Try out to watch movies in English without the legends..

Answer 5

Listen to a lot of music or always have the tv on. Like the news or something. Even if you're not watching it and you just have it on in the background you pick it up subconsciously.
