Phrasal Verbs/help
Message from passenger75 posted on 20-06-2014 at 13:09:59 (D | E | F)
Hello,wish you have a good time.

After years of studying English, I've found phrasal verbs the subtlest facet of this language.
So I would appreciate any help, including mentioning an efficient method,a good app for Android,a utile book.
And please help me find an adequate way to learn listening well.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Phrasal verbs are treacherous and difficult to learn: some of them complete the meaning of the verb they go with:e.g.
"up" reinforces the meaning of the verb: speak up (speak louder), blow up ( explode );"off" gives an idea of detachment ( take off, put off, cut off ). Many others change the meaning of the verb completely : make up ( to make peace after a quarrel)), to lie , to put foundation cream on your face, etc. It's not easy to find a method to learn them properly: sometimes the only way is the traditional way of memorising sentences containing them.
I'd start by studying all the different meanings of to TAKE + adverb or preposition ( one of the richest in meaning).
As regards listening , I'd advise you to watch a film with subtitles , and , after a few times of watching it , to hide the subtitles . This will help you recognise the sounds and meaning. Your ears will get used to understanding sounds in a sentence and the prosody ( rhythm and intonation) of the sentence itself. The same thing can be done with songs and lyrics .
I know my piece of advice cannot solve your problem completely, but do try !!!

Have a good time,
carlabice47

Hello Carlabice47,
I have been studying English for a very long time. I usually watch movies with the subtitles several times. I have got to admit it helps improve your listening. But I am not yet very good at listening. I don't know what's wrong, sometimes I can understand the movie completely, sometimes I just understand fifty to eighty (give or take five) percent of the dialogue. I understand formal English much better than informal one.
Yours truly,
Clint

Hello passenger and all of you

Yes, Phrasal Verbs are quite tricky for foreigners learning English On this very site, there are more than 10 pages of links to help you ...
I've just noted a few of them

I think the solution of the films (or series) in English is an excellent one, but I'd advise you to watch them with the English subtitles ... so that you'd be sure to get the meaning of the story, and little by little, you could write down the new expressions as they 'come by' ...'up' or 'across' !!!
Hope you'll do it ! it works !
