Improving Listening Skills

Improving listening skills can be fun and interesting. Don’t believe me? Thankfully I have a different approach to making your listening skills better.

Review that approach now by clicking this link and then come back to this page once you are done. I’ll wait here.

Done? Great! Let’s continue.

Welcome to a new way of improving your listening skills!

I am happy to tell you that learning English or improving listening skills does not have to be boring or dull.

If I told you, that rather than learn English, you were going to learn how to be patient, how to believe in yourself, how to shine in the face of criticism or learn the ABC's to being happier and healthier...would you be excited?

Choose from one of the links below to start improving your listening skills right now!

The above categories are a combination of listening, reading, exploration and understanding practice.

Here, the point or purpose is to use your English, not study it. Learn more about how traditional esl listening programs might not be helping you as much as you think.

Sounds fun doesn't it? (...and useful too!) Would like to...

- learn how to be patient

- Learn how to believe in yourself

- Learn how to shine in spite of criticism

- Learn the ABC's to being happier and healthier

- Vocabulary Activities Glossary: An audio glossary for each article.

Don't understand everything?
Do not worry!

No one does.

I was just reading a book, a very popular book actually, "New Moon" by Stephanie Meyer. I was looking at the prologue this morning and I saw a word that I didn't know.

*GASP*...Diana doesn't know what a word means?!? She is an English Teacher!...a native speaker!!

Let's be realistic!

I don't know what every word in the English language means. Do you know what, "inexorably" means? I sure didn't. From the context I knew that something was doing something in an inexorable way...but what?

I now know a new word, as of today...

Inexorably
–adjective

1. Unyielding; unalterable: inexorable truth; inexorable justice.

2. Not to be persuaded, moved, or affected by prayers: an inexorable creditor.
