30-Day Challenge Listening 1 January 2021

Would you like to understand native English speakers more easily?

I think there are two reasons why we don't understand when people speak to us in another language.

1) We don't know enough vocabulary.

2) We haven't practised listening enough.

In this challenge, we are going to fix number 2. It's really possible to make very fast progress in listening if you practise every day. We'll do two things - mini dictations (this what really gives you fast progress) and lots of incidental listening as you go about your day.

The challenge is 30 days long. You get a new lesson every day.

We'll concentrate mostly on British English, but all the techniques will also help you if you're interested in US / Canadian / Australian / New Zealand / South African English.

You'll need around 20 minutes a day of focused time, plus you'll also listen when you're doing other things, like walking to the shops, going to the gym, cooking and so on.

You'll really be better at understanding native speakers at the end, and you can use all the techniques in this course to continue improving on your own, in English or any other language you're learning.
