7 Ridiculously Simple Tips to Improve Your Listening Comprehension in Record Time

More tips and info here: www.lucalampariello.com/impro...
Today you’ll find out why watching TV and listening to music in your target language when you’re a beginner is not gonna cut it.
And I will explain why listening to comprehensible input is crucial right from the start.
Also, it’s very important to keep your motivation high by exposing yourself to audio materials that you enjoy.
Plus, don’t forget to focus on the big picture. Otherwise, you’ll miss the forest for the trees.
What you want to aim for is to get the meaning of what you’re listening to.
Then, I’ll talk about the importance of taking notes, varying your listening routine to avoid burnout and above all how to be patient.
As they say “nothing worth having comes easy.”

    I do all of those, still level A2 Spanish (maybe B1) after 10 months. But I spend maybe 10-20 minutes on average per day doing this, which is the problem. I read somewhere that it takes anywhere between 240-1600 hours to learn a language. Also some languages are measurablly easier than others. I cannot imagine being able to write in Chinese, or Pashto.

    Here's my favorite tip: listen to your target language every day ESPECIALLY if you are having one of those bad days when you feel like you're no good at languages and listening is the last thing you want to do. If you let your emotions dictate your learning, then your progress will slow down. Listen to your TL every day for 10 minutes even when you don't feel like it. There's no need to understand everything -- just pay attention and enjoy what you can understand. :) I struggle with listening comprehension in general, even in my native language English. I used to be stressed whenever I listened to something in French because I always felt like I should understand everything. Now I've gotten in the habit of watching French videos and listening to French podcasts every day while I'm doing chores. I've noticed that I'm much more relaxed, I'm having more fun, and my listening comprehension has improved!

    I always feel understanding in terms of listening is naturally a harder thing. Think of it this way someone ever described directions to you, or you need to make something but you don't have a grocery list you forget something. Also listening is not active like reading where you read every word. Listening is picking up on the idea (very passive).... I like writing down phrases/expressions to get bulk vs focusing on.singular words and enunciation. Because saying a sentence you or I may say every word properly. When you hear a non native speaker speak they can say a word wrong but over time you understand that's how they say it(just don't get to many words wrong) I had a friend say pashio....not patio...I don't know why. Never corrected him either (haha some friend). On the other hand especially in.English words can be said differently by different people and some people simply can be harder to understand. People evaluate themselves to hard on the idea that I must understand all. With Spanish I can understand some people. Older people very well, young kids very little.

    For a start I think it's important to accept these difficulties as something absolutely natural. The worst enemy of comprehension is mental stress. This can lead to a complete blockade so that you finally end up not understanding the simplest ideas. Very unfortunate when this happens in a listening exam.

    Patience is super important. Your brain will block out information, if you are frustrated that you cannot understand everything. I watch tv in my target language with subtitles. This is one of the ways I improved my listening comprehension. Along with memorizing a number of songs that I love after reading their translations. Thanks for the advice Luca. You have helped me a lot on my language journey in the past 5 years. Greetings from California. - Nathan

    My first tongue is Spanish, thanks to my perseverance nowadays I have achieved my goal of understanding natural and real English spoken, without living in any English speaking country before. What have I done? Choose engaging content following my likes, repeat the process, and to expose it eagerly. If I wanted to know about the news I put on CNN, if I wanted to know about a specific topic I bought a book in English, I just used Spanish as less as possible, through this way I could achieve my goal. Leave it if I can help somebody sharing my language learning experience. Another activity that I've done is to focus on just one accent firstly and when I have developed a "language core" with that accent, I did pass to listen to other English accents as I did when I learned Spanish in my first life years as a kid, then we can understand whatever language accent but it is important to relate one after all. Thanks, guys, and thanks Luca, I follow your advice, keep doing those approachable videos for all the language community, you have inspired us to learn how to work other worlds through languages.

    The biggest struggle for me is understanding dialogue in movies and television dramas and comedies. When I listen to podcasts, radio news, and documentaries, I understand at least 70% and often 90%. When I talk to someone one on one, I almost always understand everything. When I watch a movie or a television show I struggle to understand even 50%. I've watched KZread videos on physics and understood 90% and then struggled to make any sense of a comedy. My strategy has been to watch the show first with subtitles (in French, my target language) once or twice and then once or twice without subtitles. The problem with my strategy is that often the subtitles don't match the dialogue. The subtitles are frequently shortened and simplified. Second, I find myself getting bored after watching the same thing 2 or 3 times, which makes it hard to focus.

I believe you shouldn't worry about understanding movies or that kind of listening, for those actors are actually not speking as they noramlly do, so don't worry bout comprehending someone faking his way of speaking. I'm pretty sure that the same actors and actresses when speaking in an interview are more intelligible.

    Luca your English really is 99.999% perfect. Had I not known you're not an American (nor from any of the other English speaking countries) and were listening to you from scratch, I really would say you were an English (actually an American) native. Not as a criticism but to help you become perfect, at about 4:32 in this video you said the word "slowlier" when you should have said "slower". That was the only "give away" that English is not your native language. I will subscribe to your channel and pick up on your tips where I can. I think that the comment about not trying to listen to anything where you don't know 75% or more of the vocabulary is a good one. In fact there have been more than a good few tips in the videos which I've seen of yours. Good advice. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us mortals.

    It’s forcing or making me listen to something I completely don’t understand and feel like how will I ever learn this, and how I have gotten over it is starting really simple and with something fun, I am a kid at heart so for me that is kids cartoons like curious George or Clifford the big red dog or even noddy, I find even if I don’t understand almost any words, it helps me because it gives me context and usually the words and grammar they use are pretty simple and I find by the end I start hearing words being repeated and they start to become ingrained in my brain and actually see the image and picture of the word or action and not just a translation from English to the language, and I get to have fun, this or also I find music in the language with music that has a good beat and I just enjoy listening to over and over and start to sing little by little. Basically have fun with the language😊😄✌️ Thanks for the great video and useful tips, cheers and hope you have an awesome day😊💚🌅🙏✌️

    The struggle of language comprehension for me was finding interesting content in this set language. Maybe I went about looking for content the wrong way back then,I cant remember,but I just could not find anything that really captivates me that I would like to listen to,so I just had to listen to whatever I could find. Things that helped me most to start understanding the language a lot better were 1) constant exposure to the language,I was listening to it every day,on my way to work,on my break at work,when I was walking home,when I trained at the gym,when I come home. 2)Reading books. (Immense help!) Im a bit ashamed to admit but until 24 I really didnt read anything at all,except for something way back at school,but never by my own will. Only when I got interested in learning a language I was looking for different methods of going about it and I heard many suggestions "to read" as a good way of improving. And I really got in to it,begining with set books that are for language learners spesificaly. And aftewards with just proper books that are simply translated to my set language,like "The Alchemist". Now im reading the Hobbit. To my understanding,people who are avid book readers - they have a great advantage in learning languages :) So I would greatly suggest to start reading at some point in your language learning adventure,because from my experience it really boosts your learning. P.S. Thanks for the video Luca,as always a great motivation for me to strive for more and keep on learning.

    In my view, to read and listen at the same time is very useful, especially if you wanna learn vocabulary. I´m watching that and I notice that when I turn on the subtitles I understand the most word. I only use it when I don´t understand something. Sometimes what I do is to listen to those sentences again and I sometimes can understand it without subtitles.

    My biggest struggle right now when it comes to listening comprehension is that I'm so early on that I can't find anything that has comprehensible input. What I can do is continue to be patient and continue learning words and phrases one by one. It takes time, but I have a book that will help me too.

    I learn English and struggle to understand words pronounced with an accent, and with different sorts of contractions (and to get something when sound is subtle). I heard that I must be very familiar with word's vowels set - then I will be able to catch it from surrounding noise, but sometimes I confuse sounds (hear 'i' instead of 'u'), this happens automatically and I have no idea if time and practice will fix it)) Now I expose myself to intensive listening and some exercises on different web-sites, but it seems to me that to become a better listener I have to spend more time speaking in the target language (yes, to become more familiar with sounds).

    Very good, thank you. The biggest problem I have listening to French is that the version that is spoken isn’t the version that is written. I don’t mean that it’s not a phonetic language or the presence of liaisons. I mean that native French speakers swallow vowels, cut words and clip phrases in a way that’s not represented by the written version of the same passage. Sometimes, I have trouble following along even when I have a transcript. The verbal rendition is abbreviated and comes at me faster than I think it’s going to.

    Tip 7. If possible when listening to radio >> close your eyes ... you'll automatically focus more on the sound. (like blind people have to). Tip 8. Watch & listen to vids AND read subtitles AND read aloud to yourself WITH headphone input over 1 ear only , 2nd ear hears your own voice. Tip 9. Use full screen so you don't distract by looking at the next vid list etc.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this kind of question, but I'd like to know if you intend to make some new videos speaking the languages that you already speak. Like that old videos when you had just started your channel on KZread . I'm always looking for videos, for exemple, that you are speaking German, but I think I've already watched all of them. It would be intersting if you show us new videos of you speaking these languages with this new standards of videos that in my opnion are in an amazing qualitily level and it would be nice to see how you improved in some languages, it's a such inspiration. thanks a lot and I wish you all the best!

My attention on the conversation STOPS and I am trying to remember that one annoying word. Meanwhile the conversation has proceeded and I’m not in the flow anymore.
