    Summary
    1. Stay present
    a. While listening to other people, don't try to translate every word.
    b. Don't try to make a response.
    c. Perfection is the enemy of fluency.
    2. Make English a necessity
    a. Make English speaking friends
    b. Make a commitment to yourself to practice. Whatever your daily life demand might be, try to find a chance to listen. For example, listen on youtube on how to repair a laptop, a recipe...
    3. Movies, TV shows, audio books... that you are interested in.
    4. Listen in many accents.
    That's all. Thanks Teela with Deep English!

    Four tips:
    #1 Stay present
    - don't translate every word the other person says in your head.
    - don't try to make your response to what they're saying while they are still speaking.
    - perfection is the enemy of fluency.
    #2 Make learning English a necessity
    - make a friend who only speaks English.
    - try to use English to solve daily problems.
    #3 Movies, TV Shows, Audio
    #4 Listen to many accents

    I've to confess that i understood a speech literally first time. I am a Turk and i was good at speaking or writing and reading but wasn't at listening and i just improved my listening skills thanks to you. And exactly the first tip is more helper to enhance my listenin' skills. Thank you so much for this video and your sincerity. I will watch your all videos as possible as i can. I hope that could write correct. You are a perfect teacher 🖤

  • @wandylouisjuste2884
    @wandylouisjuste2884 Před 2 lety +3

    I also appreciate this one : "stay present". It will be very nice to apply it while speaking as much it requires many efforts from the speaker.

  • @osj90
    @osj90 Před 4 lety +1

    All tips are really helpful. But one tip that I want to follow immediately is 'Stay present'. Sometimes I concentrate on a word which I don't know the meaning or I can't understand. It makes me not to understand the whole meaning of the sentence and context. And it also stresses me out and then I get tired. From now on, I will not foucus on a word and be obsessed with perfection. Thank you teacher Teela. Your lessons are really really helpful to me.

  • @vandannhidao6365
    @vandannhidao6365 Před 4 lety +4

  • @beyondword.s
    @beyondword.s Před 4 lety +17

    I loved #4 "listen to many accents" tip because it's very important to advise people that English is not only British or American. There are other people around the world speaking English, so the variety of accents is HUGE!
    Thank you for your videos. They are great!

  • @johnjairojaramillobuitrago3928

    Hi there Teela, I just wanted to thank you a lot about the way you teach and speak the English language, I have already learned tons over your amazing videos posted here. I will pretty sure try the tip you shared about watching series and movies with and without subtitles through Netflix. I hope I would be able to improve my listening skill in this way, it might be both fun and helpful. Blessings to you and your crew, Teela.

  • @helenpansy614
    @helenpansy614 Před 2 lety +3

    Thank you very much, dear Teela! Your advice has slightly reduced my confusion. I have been studying English for many years. I understand everything you say (or 90-95 percent), but I need English subtitles for confidence, otherwise I feel like a person without support. At the second listening, I set the speed to 0.75, so that I could also mirror repeat after you. The fact is that I read: working on pronunciation improves listening comprehension. I am a Russian speaker, and the problem of most Russian speakers is that they hardly speak English. Stupor in speaking. I don't know why, but it is. I have reached the Intermediate level in learning English, and I am stuck on it. I started learning German from stress, and I really like it. Only now I was able to return to English. Thank you again.

But now I got these tips and I will see more video in your channel!! Thanks!!!

    Como vc fala espanhol eu só brasileiro e falo português estou lhe escrevendo em português .
    Gostei muito da sua pronúncias o que facilita entender melhor as palavras . Obrigado pela excelente aula 🙂. Estou confuso se faço opção pelo inglês Américano ou britânico . Tenho amigos Americanos que já falam português bem e não que falar comigo em inglês. Minha filha foi fazer um curso na BBC na Inglaterra e morou lá por dois anos e meio . Visitei ela várias vezes . Assim fui obrigado e falar parecido com o inglês britânico
    Perturbou bastante minha cabeça .
    Como atualmente estamos passando férias mais na Europa
    Senti que muitas pessoas entendem melhor o inglês britânico . Acho para mim o inglês Américano mais bonito e o sotaque mais suavel . Continuarei assistindo suas aulas porque é muito didática e vc gosta de ensinar e ajudar as pessoas.
