How to improve your listening...

Of course, there is no easy solution which will make you suddenly able to understand everything you hear in English. The English language has a huge variety of accents, expressions and differences, and you will hear it in many different contexts, some familiar and some unfamiliar. All I can say is Practise, Practise, Practise!! Listen as much as you can - if you are at home, try listening to talk radio, instead of music for an hour a day. If you have a Smartphone (iphone, android, htc etc) use it smartly - there are 1000's of free podcasts you can download - find something that interests you and download a podcast.
Below are a few places you might like to look for listening materials:





If you have a smartphone (eg IPhone, Android) download an App called TuneIn - it gives you access to thousands of radio stations from around the world. Try some of the English language ones!
