  • Episode 27: American English Listening Skills Chapter 7 and 8 - The Role of Listening Skills in English language learning
    May 26 2024

    Welcome to the 27th Episode of the Learn American English with Maestro Sersea Podcast. Today we're going to focus on the role of listening skills in English language learning as well as the concluding chapter of the eBook.

    Listening skills are very important when learning the English language. They help us understand spoken English. This is useful in many situations, like talking to friends, listening to teachers, or watching movies. When we listen well, we can hear how words are pronounced and how sentences are put together. This helps us learn the right way to speak English.

    To improve our listening skills, we can practice by listening to English songs, watching English TV shows or movies, and trying to understand what is being said without looking at subtitles. It's also helpful to listen to English stories or podcasts. The more we listen, the better our understanding becomes. This makes it easier for us to speak and understand English in real conversations.

    Good listening skills also help us in exams that test our ability in English. For example, many exams have a listening part where we need to understand spoken instructions or answers. By improving our listening skills, we can do better on these tests. So, practicing listening is not just about everyday communication; it's also key for academic success in learning the English language.

  • Episode 26: American English Listening Skills Chapter 6 - Techniques to Improve Listening Skills
    May 19 2024

    Welcome to the 26th Episode of the Learn American English with Maestro Sersea Podcast. Today we're going to focus on Techniques to Improve Listening Skills for American English learners.

    Improving listening skills in American English for learners can seem tough, but there are practical techniques you can use to get better. One effective method is to immerse yourself in the language as much as possible. This means listening to American English every day. You can do this by watching American movies, TV shows, or even listening to podcasts and music. The key here is consistency; the more you listen, the better you'll get at understanding.

    Another technique is to practice active listening. This means not just hearing the words but also paying attention to how they're said. Notice the tone, speed, and emotion behind what's being spoken. You can practice this by repeating phrases out loud exactly how you hear them, mimicking the intonation and rhythm of the speaker. This exercise will help you catch nuances of the language that you might miss otherwise.

    Lastly, engaging with native speakers as much as possible can dramatically improve your listening skills. If you have friends who are native American English speakers, try to have regular conversations with them. If not, there are many online communities and language exchange sites where you can find partners to practice with. Speaking and listening to native speakers will not only improve your comprehension but also your pronunciation and fluency in American English. Remember, patience and persistence are key - improving your listening skills takes time but it’s definitely achievable with consistent practice!
