#003 The Importance Of Repeated Listening

Learn English Faster

Welcome to the Speak English Now Podcast, your resource for practicing your English speaking and listening. You will also learn about lifestyle and culture, language, vocabulary, and how to learn English more effectively.

Transcript:

Hi everyone!

I’m Georgiana; founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help YOU speak English fluently.

In this episode:

I will be talking about how many times we have to repeat an audio.
After that, we’ll practice conversation skills with a new mini-story.

Let’s get started!

As you may know, I always recommend you listening to improving your English. There are many studies, which suggest that there is a correlation between our level of language and the hours we have been listening. In other words, the more you listen, the better. The more hours you spend listening, the more quickly you improve.

Here’s an interesting question you might ask: “How many times do I have to listen to every piece of content?” Do I have to listen just one time? Or more than one time?

What most students do is listen to certain content once or twice and then change to another content. The typical student thinks that the more variety, the better.

Well, variety is good, but what you want is to consolidate what you listen to, and the most effective way to achieve it is through repetition.

So, let’s say you are starting with English. You’re a beginner. This is the situation where you need a lot of repetition. The reason is that you need to create the most common patterns in your head. That’s why you need to repeat many times. For example, let’s say you have a 5 minute audio adapted to your level. Then, you can repeat the audio twenty, thirty, or even more times.

Yes! You heard me well! Twenty, thirty, or more times!

Hi Georgiana, I enjoy your lessons a lot. My ten year old son wants to learn English too. Unfortunately he barely know a few words in English. He’s trying hard listening to your podcast. Do you have a suggestion for him to ease his learning?
