What's the best way to improve your listening?
2
In this video, I'm going share with you the technique I use to improve my listening.
3
This technique works.
4
And I wish I had known this technique a lot sooner.
5
Because it's easy to do and very effective.
6
So let's get started.
7
First, let's talk about why most people fail to improve their listening.
8
Improving your listening skills takes time. It's a long-term process.
9
But most people forget that or they just don't know.
10
So when they practice listening, they use methods that are inconvenient -- something that is not easy to do.
11
So, it's impossible for them to continue doing it for a long time.
12
As a result, most people quit before they get any results.
13
But how do I know this?
14
Well, I know this because I've made the same mistake.
15
I've tried several methods that were inconvenient like watching the same movie twice, with subtitles first and then without subtitles.
16
That was so boring so I quit after the fourth movie.
17
I also tried listening and then writing down what I heard.
18
But that was too much work and I was too busy.
19
So let's take this back to you.
20
How do you make sure that you don't fail like I did?
21
Well, if you want to succeed, the method you use must be convenient.
22
It must be easy to do.
23
If it's not, you'll probably quit before you see an improvement.
24
So let me share with you the most convenient way to improve your listening.
25
It's very simple.
26
There are only two steps that you need to take.
27
Here's the first step: Download a lot of listening materials to your phone or mp3 player.
28
Now, the best listening materials are the ones where people are just talking naturally.
29
They're just having real conversations.
30
When you use this kind of materials, you're listening to a lot of common, everyday words that people use in real life.
31
So that's the first step.
32
The next step is very important.
33
Do not miss this step.
34
The next step is to listen to the materials.
35
But here's the key: DO NOT do it in your free time.
36
Instead, do it when you're already doing something else.
37
Something that doesn't require much of your attention.
38
Listen to the materials while commuting, while waiting in line, while exercising, and so on.
39
Use those times to practice listening. So that you don't have to spend extra time.
40
Now, why do we have to do this?
41
Well, the reason is that we want to make it convenient.
42
When it's easy to do, you're likely to do it for a long time.
43
And if you do it long enough, your listening skills will definitely improve.
44
Now let me show you something that might shock you.
45
Let's compare this technique with watching movies, which is how many people improve their listening.
46
If you start using this technique today, and if you do it for 30 minutes per day, one year from now, you will have listened to 10,950 minutes of real English conversations.
47
That's a lot of listening.
48
And because you're not doing it in your free time, the amount of extra time spent is zero.
49
That's awesome.
50
What about watching movies?
51
First of all, in a movie, there isn't a conversation or a dialogue in every part, right?
52
If you watch an action movie, you might see a fight scene, an explosion, a car chase scene, and so on.
53
So let's say that on average, the length of a movie is 100 minutes.
54
50% of those are conversations. The rest is something else.
55
If you watch 4 movies a week or 208 movies a year, in one year, you will have listened to 10,400 minutes of fake English conversations.
56
Now here's worst part: because each movie is 100 minutes long, this method requires you to spend as much as 20,800 minutes of your free time.
57
This is really, really sad.
58
Now let's compare the two methods side-by-side.
59
Now I have a question for you.
60
If you use this technique instead of watching movies, and you save over 20,000 minutes per year, how would you spend these 20,000 minutes?
61
Reading English books to increase your vocabulary?
62
Practicing speaking?
63
Or something else?
64
Leave a comment and let me know.
65
So now you know the power of this technique.
66
Let me repeat something important.
67
This is a long term process.
68
It takes time.
69
So please be patient.
70
Fortunately, now you know this technique.
71
So I know that you'll succeed.

背景与上下文

在当今的语言学习中，听力技能是提高英语沟通能力的重要组成部分。很多英语学习者发现他们在听的过程中面临着各种困难，尤其是在理解日常对话时。根据视频中讲者的经验，许多人在提高听力技能时往往会选择不便的方法，这导致他们在学习过程中感到沮丧。讲者分享了一种简单有效的技术，目的是帮助学习者在忙碌的生活中有机会不断改善自己的听力能力。

日常交流的五个常用短语

  • How are you doing?（你好吗？）
  • What do you think?（你觉得怎么样？）
  • I totally agree.（我完全同意。）
  • Can you explain that again?（你可以再解释一下吗？）
  • Let’s catch up later.（我们稍后聊。）

逐步影子跟读指南

提高英语发音和听力的最好方法之一是使用影子跟读（shadow speech）技术。以下是你可以采取的步骤，帮助你在日常生活中融入这种学习方法：

  1. 下载听力材料：寻找能够提供自然对话的听力材料，确保这些材料与你的英语水平相符。你可以选择播客、对话录音或YouTube视频等资源。
  2. 利用闲暇时间：在通勤、排队或者锻炼时，听这些自然而流畅的对话内容。这样可以确保你不会为听力练习单独挤出时间，而是将其融入到日常生活中。
  3. 进行影子跟读：在听的同时尝试跟读，模仿说话者的语调和发音。你可以在没有干扰的环境中练习，逐渐提高你的听力和口语能力。
  4. 持之以恒：每天坚持至少30分钟的影子跟读，经过一年左右的时间，你将能听到很多现实生活中的英语对话。
  5. 及时反馈：通过重新听录音和对照文本，了解自己的改进，并找到需要进一步练习的地方。

利用以上的方法，你不仅能够提高英语听力，还能在潜移默化中提高英语发音。如果你刚开始学习，可以通过看YouTube学英语等资源获得更多帮助，逐步掌握影子跟读的技巧。记住，持之以恒是关键！

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
