Speak English Today

Having effective listening skills means being able to display interest in the topic discussed and understand the information provided. In today’s society, the ability to communicate effectively is becoming increasingly important. Although the ability to speak effectively is a highly sought-after skill, developing effective listening skills is often not regarded in the same respect. 

In fact, listening is just as important as speaking. Being a good listener helps solve problems, resolve conflicts, and improve relationships. In the workplace, effective listening contributes to fewer errors, less wasted time, and improved accuracy. Effective listening helps build friendships and careers. Kiky and Gio are discussing about how to overcome some issues that Indonesian learners are commonly experiencing when it comes to English listening skills.

Stressed out about money? Join the club. According to a survey, one out of every three Indonesians are concerned about “Not having enough money to get by.” Still, some people are much better than others at making the most of what they have. What do they know that others don’t?
