So  you’ve decided that listening to the English language is a good way to  improve your English language skills. You’re keen to pour the new  strange sounds and words into your pristine ready to learn brain. Great!  But before you jump in, be mindful of what you are going to listen to.  Even though today’s English language learning podcast is a nice and easy idioms topic. There are a lot of more complex things going on as you listen. The lesson is working on your unconscious mind, not just your conscious mind.

Obviously  I’m going to suggest you listen to Adept English content. We provide  exceptional English acquisition materiel all designed for learning a language through listening. However, being serious, you will also want to include other sources of audio and you need to be careful about what you choose.

I’ve mentioned comprehensible input in previous English lessons. Keep this in mind when you choose to input  new English into your brain. Start with a single English speaker,  preferably with a transcript you can use to look up any difficult or new  vocabulary. I would also suggest you use audio from native English  speakers. I’m not talking about accents here I’m talking about speakers  for whom English is their first language.

It’s important to get as  close to everyday English as possible. Try to find audio that’s just  talking. You don’t want a lot of background noise, special effects or  music playing, as these all affect your brain’s ability to single out  and identify English language. I know people often turn to TV for input,  but be careful what you choose, make sure the TV has closed captions and that these are accurate (They usually are full of mistakes!) Choose  something that isn’t too distracting (No action films! No TV ads.)

I  know having pictures can help with providing context to the words you  hear. You can sometimes guess what’s being talked about just by looking  at the pictures, but it’s important to focus on the audio first, not  rely on the images. Rather than guess, look up the words to be sure you  understand what you are listening to.
