Hello everyone!

Today I would like to teach you some of the ways you can improve your listening English.

Listening is a really important part of developing your fluency and understanding native speakers more.

So now let's take a look at five easy steps to improve your listening.

So my first tip is going to be practice listening while reading simultaneously.

What it means is to just use subtitles and try to actually read them to you.

One of the examples might be using subtitles on YouTube videos, for example, or using subtitles when you watch movies.

I feel like a lot of people underestimate the value of subtitles.

Subtitles are really important to understand the text.

Even native speakers sometimes use subtitles when the speech is too unclear, if they want to make sure that they really remember everything.

I know a lot of native English speakers who use subtitles when they watch TV shows or movies in English.

If you like listening to podcasts,

you can always download the transcripts if they are available to your podcast and listen while reading simultaneously.

If you like reading books, you can also listen to audiobooks, again, simultaneously.

You can read and listen.

It's a really good practice.

Reading while listening.

And of course, if you're using textbooks in English,

they also have a great variety of exercises for you with the reading practice as well as the listening.

So they always include the listening practice as well.

And when you actively try to improve your listening in English,

there is a great system that I recommend using to everyone.

This system will tremendously help you improve your listening in English and it can also actually help you improve your accent.

So step number one is to listen to the audio without looking at anything.

Just listen.

The first step is just to try to understand how much you can grasp from just listening.

Don't peek, don't look at anything, just listen.

And during this first part, you're learning to understand the gist of the text.

The most important part.

You don't need to understand everything.

Just the most important part.

This is why the first step is really important.

Step two is repeat.

We do exactly the same.

But just again.

Again, you listen to the audio one more time without looking at anything.

If you have a text, for example, just listen to it again.

Don't peek.

Here, try to listen to more words.

Try to understand more words, more expressions, more critical points.

Try to just listen one more time.

Step three is to get reading.

Now is the time to look at your text.

Look at the text, relax, read it, just, you know, skip through it.

try to understand the gist of the text again the most important parts

and if there are some words

that you don't know then it's the time to copy them down to your notebook

or to just transfer them to your Anki app

if you're using Anki like I do and

if you're not familiar with Anki here is my video about this app it's a great app

and I'm sure it will help you memorize the vocabulary in english faster step four is listening with the text

so now you're already super familiar with the text you looked

up all the words all the expressions you're not familiar with

and now is the time to listen while you're looking at the text

while you're reading along you can read out loud

or it's not necessary to actually read out loud it just depends on you again just listen

and read at the same time finally step number five is to listen again without looking at the text

so this whole system is comprised of five steps

and the final step is to just listen again

and i'm sure by this time you're gonna understand the like 99 of the text is gonna be

so familiar to you right now and you're just gonna feel

so confident so happy that you understand so so much try this

and then leave the comments in the description

if this method helped you my tip number two is to

listen to what you actually enjoy listening to it seems like an obvious tip

but for me for a long time it wasn't

that obvious you know a lot of people like listening to music for example

but i personally don't really listen to music that much and when

so many people advise you to listen to music to look

at the lyrics of the songs i just don't like listening to music

and i always felt like maybe i was missing out

but actually you're not missing out

if you're listening to something you like then amazing i personally like listening to podcasts

and for me this is my listening practice i don't listen to music

but it's okay my tip number three kind of contradicts my tip number four

because it's about challenging yourself with something you're not quite familiar with for example i really like yoga for example

and i like listening to everything about yoga you know like creating books about yoga things like that

but one day i'm like hey i think i should listen

to something about space you know about the planets about our planet earth it's completely different

but again i am interested in this this is the most

important thing it can be different you know usually you like listening something about cars

or about technology or about money

but just one day you decided to listen to something about

food for example it's just a good challenge you know listen to something completely different from what you're used to

and actually this is where coursera is going to help you

a lot they have a lot of great courses about a

lot of different topics they have subtitles they have transcripts

and you can also listen and watch

and it's just amazing i personally use their website to learn chinese

and there are a lot of different courses for english learners

as well i'm gonna link some of my favorites in the description to this video.

My tip number four is gonna be about exposing yourself to various dialects

and accents and this is something I kind of struggle with

because I had a period of time

when I just refused to listen to anything but American accent and this is not a good thinking.

You should try to listen to as many accents, as many dialects as you can.

And the most obvious example is just going to be to listen to TV shows in American accent,

such as Friends, The Office, Grey's Anatomy, and also listen and watch TV shows in British English,

like The Crown, Sherlock, Downton Abbey, things like that.

100

So these TV shows are completely different.

101

The storyline is different and the accents are different and they're going to help you improve your listening a ton.

102

And here, if you just don't want to watch any TV shows or movies, you can also go on italki.

103

There are a lot of great teachers from all over the world and their accents are different, their dialects are different.

104

So you can just talk to them, you know, talk to different teachers from a lot of different countries

105

and this is also going to help you improve your listening in English.

106

And my last tip, the tip number five is going to be a pretty interesting one.

107

It's kind of funny too.

108

It's going to be about learning some filler words so that you can by yourself some time if you don't understand anything.

109

You know, there are some moments when a person is talking to you and you feel like you're struggling.

110

You know, you feel like you're not following the conversation at all.

111

And this is a good way to learn some filler words.

112

Or maybe you do understand something and you're just not sure you need some time to think.

113

So you can use these filler words.

114

You can use I mean, actually, basically, like, okay, so.

115

So I think that's all for today's video.

116

These are all my tips on how you can improve your listening skills in English.

117

Again, check out Coursera, check out italki, check out Anki.

118

All of these resources are just a great start

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
