Welcome to the 25th Episode of the Learn American English with Maestro Sersea Podcast. Today we're going to focus on American English listening skills for academic sessions.

Improving your American English listening skills for academic sessions is very important. It helps you understand lectures, discussions, and presentations better. To improve, listen to English as much as you can. This can be through movies, songs, or podcasts. Pick materials that interest you to make learning enjoyable.

One helpful tip is to practice active listening. This means not just hearing the words but also trying to understand the meaning behind them. When you listen to a lecture or a talk, take notes of key points. This will help you remember what you heard. Also, try to predict what the speaker will say next. This keeps your mind engaged and improves comprehension.

Don't worry if you don't understand everything at first. Learning takes time. Keep practicing every day, even if it's just for a few minutes. Over time, your listening skills will get better and attending academic sessions in American English will become easier for you.
