Listening and understanding real English is essential in conversations, lectures, professional life, as well as when you are a tourist. It is also an efficient way to progress in English.
Therefore, I strongly recommend:
- trying the following activities
- choosing the one(s) that suits you best
- working on it/them until you feel real progress.
This general information on improving listening will prove useful before you start.
From easy to more difficult:
- Takoko's great adventure - listening and language activities
- Read and listen Jack London's Call of the Wild novel
- English Learning Edge
- Telephone expressions in dictation
- Randal's listening activities
- English Trailers
- BBC Words in the News
- Video Nation
