Dear Club users
I have many problems to understand when a native speaker speaks English. I would like to have some rules or some kind of things to improve my skills in listening.
Thanks.

Hi Ambabire,
The first thing is to relax and not try to understand every word. Concentrate on the key words and you will get the gist of what people are saying. English speaking people give emphasis to the most important words in the sentence. If you have a listening comprehension with written questions, you could underline the key (most important ) information in the question and concentrate on that when you are listening. You will soon get better if you stop worrying.
Best Wishes,
Chrislondon

Hi,
If you want to improve your listening, I advice you to listen to news on BBC or CNN. At the bigining It will be very difficult to understand all the words, but if you do it regularly you will manage to improve your listening.
An other good method: take at the library books with CD, listen to the CD while you are reading. This method will help you to work too your vocabulary.
As for me, I use both methods and I am very satisfied of the result.
GOOD LUCK!

Hello
for my opinion, if someone have a good listening, he or she must be a good english speaker and a good at writing. Many ways to improve your listening as flacara said above, you would listen to news on bbc or cnn. my opinion is you should pay attention to your speaking and writing, which can also improve your listning level. if you are good at writing, you konw many english words, a good speak is a good listening

I know this problem of oral understanding in english, i have the same ! I understand almost everything that i read, but to speak it is another problem ! I do not feel confident ! I'm afraid not to understand the person at phone so i prefer not to answer ! The phone is a very difficult exercice for me.

I moved to Edmonton from Italy four months ago. I have a tough time listening to city dwellers! All that is written in connection with that problem is pretty right. I only would like to emphasize that the phone is the hardest challenge. It is not a bad idea to get acquainted with some native English speakers who can help by talking on the phone. It is an excellent exercise that I want to do! If there is somebody willing to help, please, feel free to contact me when you get a chance! Thanks.

Hi,
To understand English better, you must listen to the English language as often as possible. My teacher said we think English people speak too fast, but, it is because we are not used to listen to them often enough!
The more you listen to English, the more you understand it.

As far as I am concerned , the most effective way to improve your listening skills is to listen as much as possible .Also, whenever you listen , try not to focus on every spoken word.This will not only divert your attention from the speaker , but it will also make you form a bad habit.
