How To Practice And Improve Your Advanced English Listening Skills in 30 Days

You are an intermediate or advanced
English learner. But for some reason your

English listening skills don’t seem to
be improving. You listen to English music,

you listen to English news programs, and
maybe even listen to English podcasts.

But for some reason your English
listening skills don’t seem to improve.

Well don’t worry. Today I’m gonna teach
you how. Welcome to Speak English with Tiffani.

I’m teacher Tiffani. Let’s jump
right in!

Alright this English listening skills
plan is broken down into three different

sections. Each of these sections will
cover a ten day period.

Over this ten day period you will learn
exactly how to improve your English

listening skills each time you study a
section. Alright now each of these

sections has nine different phases and
we’re gonna look at each different phase.

So let’s look at phase number one. Find
the main idea. The main idea refers to

the point of what you are listening to.
It is the most important thought or

topic. So this is your focus for day one
okay. You’re gonna listen to the five

audio files you chose. Yes that’s right.
Each day you’re gonna pick five

different audio files. Now you can choose
how long or how short these files are.

Okay? Now you’re only gonna listen for the

main idea. This is imperative. This is key.
Don’t try to listen for the vocabulary

words or anything else. Just figure out
the main idea for day one. Alright so

the next thing you want to do is move on
to part two or phase two. Answer the five

W’s. The five W’s refer to finding the
who, what, when, where, and why of what you

are listening to. This is your focus for
day two. That’s right.

Day one was just for the main idea and
then you move on to day two you’re gonna

listen for the five W’s. Now when you
listen to the five audio files you chose

again you can pick new audio files or
you can use the same ones from the

previous day, you’re specifically
listening for pieces of information that

answer the five W’s. You may have to
listen more than once and that’s okay.

Okay? Now after you find the five W’s
stop. Don’t listen anymore. Now I know

this is gonna be a little bit
interesting or different because you’re

used to listening over and over, but
remember you’re training your brain to

actually increase its ability to listen
well. Okay. Alright now moving on to

step three or phase three. Imitate what
you hear.

Imitating refers to trying to copy the
sound, speed, and exact words that you

hear as you listen okay. This is your
focus for day three. This is your only

focus for day three. You’re gonna listen
to the five audio files you chose. Again

they can be brand new files or the files
in the previous day. It’s up to you okay.

And what you’re gonna do is you’re going
to use intervals. That means stopping and

starting. Now you can choose how short or
how long your intervals are. So for

example, you may choose to do ten-second
intervals. You can listen for ten seconds

and then try to repeat exactly what you
heard. And if that’s too hard you can

listen for five seconds, push stop, and
repeat what you heard. These are

intervals okay. So day three you’re only
practicing intervals by imitating what

you hear. Alright now moving on to the
next phase, summarize. Summarizing refers

to simply writing three to five
sentences about each audio file you

listen to. Okay this is your focus for
day four. Again you’re gonna listen to

the five audio files you chose, whether
they’re brand new or they’re the ones from

the previous day, and again you may have
to listen more than once because you’re

gonna be summarizing them okay. Your goal
is to be clear and concise. Now if you

need help with learning how to summarize,
click the link in the top right of your

screen. I have a video where I explain in
detail how to summarize anything in

English. Okay? Top right of your screen.
Alright, so again day 4 you’re just

focusing on summarizing by using three
to five sentences okay. Now when we move

on to the next phase
recognizing vocabulary is our focus.

You see recognizing vocabulary refers to
listening for new vocabulary words in

each audio file you listen to. This is
your only focus for day five. So I don’t

want you to get to day five and try to
find the main idea, find the five W’s,

summarize…No, you have to follow this
plan exactly and I guarantee it will

improve your listening skills. So on day
five only listen for vocabulary. Okay? So

again listen to the five audio files you
chose but this time you’re only

listening to each file one time. That’s
right, one time. And your goal is to hear

new words. So what’s happening is, instead
of listening over and over, you’re

telling your brain to think quickly and
you need to hear what words you don’t

recognize and just write them down. Later
on you can check your spelling okay. This

is the focus for day five. Now moving on
to the next day, day six. Okay, you’re

going to write questions. Writing
questions refers to coming up with

possible questions about the information
you listen to. This is a very, very

helpful phase or step when you’re trying
to improve your listening skills. Okay. So

again this is your focus for day six.
Listen to the five audio files you chose,

whether they are new or the ones from
the previous day, and again with this one

you can listen as many times as
necessary. Okay. Your goal is to also

answer the questions. So you’re gonna try
to write between five to ten questions.

Okay as you’re listening write down the
questions. Don’t write the answers. Write

the questions.
Once you’ve stopped the audio file then

go back and try to answer the questions
without listening again. Okay.

Very good practice for listening and
answering and being able to remember

information. Okay so that’s part six or
phase six. Now moving on to phase number

seven. Determine the emotion. Now this is
probably a phase that maybe you all have

never practiced before but it’s
excellent. It’s a great way of improving

your listening skills.
You see determining the emotion refers

to analyzing the main feeling of each
audio file you listen to. Okay this is

your focus for day seven. You’re gonna
listen to the five audio files you chose,

whether they’re new or the ones from the
previous day, and your goal is to relax

and just feel the mood. What is the
person trying to express? What is going

on in the audio file? For example is it
something happy or angry or sad or scary

or disgust, like hatred or something you
don’t like, surprise or anticipation? So

feel the mood of what you’re listening
to. Why is this key? Because sometimes

you’re not going to understand all of
the words, but if you understand the

emotion you can guess part of the
meanings of other words and other

situations. This is another key to
improving your listening skills.

Alright now step eight or phase eight,
listen and paraphrase. Listening and

paraphrasing refers to analyzing small
portions of each audio file you listen

to. So again this is your focus for day
eight. You’re gonna listen to the five

audio files you chose but your goal is
to quickly get the general idea. Now for

this one you can pick one two or three
minute intervals. Okay so what you’re

gonna try to do is after you listen to
one or two or three minutes of

information, you push pause and you’re
not imitating - not like the previous

phase - instead of imitating you are
trying to put in

your own words what you heard. You’re
paraphrasing. Again this is helping with

your English speaking ability as well.
This phase is very important. So remember

only focus on this on day 8, okay. Now on
day nine, or for phase nine, interval

listening. Interval listening refers to
taking time to process small portions of

each audio file you listen to. This is so
key because sometimes as students you

want to listen to a lot of things
without pausing to actually take the

information in. So this is your focus for
day nine. Listen to the five audio files

you chose, okay. But your goal is to take
time to process the info. So maybe go to

a quiet room or go somewhere where you
can relax. Put your headphones on or turn

the music up loud or whatever file
you’re listening to. Just relax and

listen and pause if necessary. But listen
and try to accept and understand the

information, okay. You can do that in
intervals as well. Alright now day ten.

Yes, I always love a rest day. As a
teacher, I always tell my students it’s

important for you to have a day to let
your brain rest. So this is what’s gonna

happen. Day one to ten is what we just
went over.

But, you see day eleven to twenty and day
21 to 30 are just mirror images of the

first ten days. The only difference is
you will choose different audio files.

But you’re practicing the same nine
phases, okay. And remember always on the

tenth day you’re giving yourself a rest.
After this thirty day period I guarantee

that your advanced listening skills will
have improved beyond your imagination.

您是中级或高级
英语学习者。 但是由于某种原因,您的

英语听力技能似乎没有
提高。 你听英文音乐,

你听英文新闻节目,
甚至可能听英文播客。

但是由于某种原因,你的英语
听力似乎没有提高。

好吧,别担心。 今天我来教
你怎么做。 欢迎与 Tiffani 一起说英语。

我是蒂法尼老师。 让我们直接跳
进去!

好的,这个英语听力技巧
计划分为三个不同的

部分。 这些部分中的每一个都将
涵盖十天的时间。

在这十天的时间里,您将
准确地学习如何在每次学习一个部分时提高您的英语

听力技能
。 好的,现在每个

部分都有九个不同的阶段,
我们将看看每个不同的阶段。

所以让我们看一下第一阶段。
找到主要思想。 主要思想是

指您正在听的内容。
这是最重要的思想或

主题。 所以这是你第一天的
重点。 您将聆听您选择的五个

音频文件。 是的,这是正确的。
每天你会选择五个

不同的音频文件。 现在您可以选择
这些文件的长度或长度。

好的? 现在你只会听

主要的想法。 这是必须的。 这是关键。
不要试图听

词汇或其他任何东西。 弄清楚第一
天的主要想法。

好吧,接下来您要做的就是继续
进行第二部分或第二阶段。 回答五个

W。 五个 W 指的是找到
你正在听的内容的对象、内容、时间、地点和原因

。 这是您
第二天的重点。 那就对了。

第一天只是为了主要想法,
然后你继续到第二天你会

听五个W。 现在,当您再次
收听您选择的五个音频文件

时,您可以选择新的音频文件,或者
您可以使用

前一天的相同文件,您正在专门
收听

回答五个 W 的信息片段。 你可能不得不
听不止一次,这没关系。

好的? 现在,在您找到五个 W 的
停靠点之后。 别再听了。 现在我知道

这会有点
有趣或不同,因为你已经

习惯了一遍又一遍地听,但
请记住,你正在训练你的大脑以

真正提高其倾听的
能力。 好的。 好的,现在进入

第三步或第三阶段。 模仿
你听到的。

模仿是指尝试复制
您听到的声音、速度和准确的

单词。 这是您
第三天的重点。 这是您第三天的唯一

关注点。 您将聆听
您选择的五个音频文件。 同样,

它们可以是全新的文件或
前一天的文件。 这取决于你没关系。

你要做的是
使用间隔。 这意味着停止和

启动。 现在您可以选择
间隔的短或长。 因此,

例如,您可以选择执行 10 秒的
间隔。 你可以听十秒钟

,然后试着准确地重复你
听到的内容。 如果这太难了,你可以

听五秒钟,按下停止键,然后
重复你听到的内容。 这些

间隔没问题。 所以第三天你只是
通过模仿

你所听到的来练习间隔。 好的,现在进入
下一阶段,总结一下。 总结是

指简单地为
您收听的每个音频文件写三

到五句话。 好的,这是您第四天的重点
。 再次,您将聆听

您选择的五个音频文件,无论
它们是全新的

还是前一天的,并且您可能
不得不多次聆听,因为您

将总结它们好 . 你的目标
是简洁明了。 现在,如果您

在学习如何总结方面需要帮助,
请单击屏幕右上角的链接

。 我有一个视频,我详细解释了
如何用英语总结任何东西

。 好的? 屏幕右上角。
好的,所以第 4 天你还是

专注于用三
到五个句子进行总结。 现在,当我们

进入下一阶段时,
识别词汇是我们的重点。

您会看到识别词汇是指

您收听的每个音频文件中聆听新词汇。 这是
您第五天的唯一重点。 所以我不

希望你到第五天去尝试
找到主要思想,找到五个 W,

总结……不,你必须完全按照这个
计划,我保证它会

提高你的听力技巧。 所以在
第五天只听词汇。 好的? 所以

再次收听您选择的五个音频文件,
但这次您只

收听每个文件一次。
没错,一次。 你的目标是听到

新词。 所以发生的事情是,你
不是一遍又一遍地听,而是

告诉你的大脑快速思考,
你需要听到你不

认识的单词,然后把它们写下来。
稍后您可以检查您的拼写是否正常。 这

是第五天的重点。 现在继续
到第二天,第六天。 好吧,你

要写问题了。 写作
问题是指就您所听

的信息提出可能的问题
。 当您尝试提高听力技巧时,这是一个非常非常

有用的阶段或步骤
。 好的。 所以

这又是你第六天的重点。
聆听您选择的五个音频文件,

无论它们是新的还是
前一天的,然后再次使用这个,

您可以根据需要多次聆听
。 好的。 你的目标也是

回答问题。 所以你要
试着写五到十个问题。

好的,一边听一边写下
问题。 不要写答案。 把问题写下来。

停止音频文件后,

请返回并尝试回答问题,
而无需再次收听。 好的。

非常好的听力和
回答以及能够记住

信息的练习。 好的,这是第六部分或
第六阶段。 现在进入

第七阶段。 确定情绪。 现在这
可能是一个可能你们以前

从未练习过的阶段,但它
非常好。 这是提高听力技巧的好方法


你看确定情绪是

指分析你听的每个音频文件的主要感觉
。 好的,这是

您第七天的重点。 您将
聆听您选择的五个音频文件,

无论是新的还是
前一天的,您的目标是放松

并感受心情。 这个
人想表达什么?

音频文件中发生了什么? 例如,它
是快乐的、愤怒的、悲伤的、可怕的

还是厌恶的,比如仇恨或你
不喜欢的东西、惊喜还是期待? 所以

感受你正在听的内容的情绪
。 为什么是这把钥匙? 因为有时候

你不会理解所有
的单词,但是如果你理解了

情绪,你就可以猜出
其他单词和其他

情况的部分含义。 这是
提高听力技巧的另一个关键。

好的,现在第八步或第八阶段,
听并解释。 收听和

释义是指分析
您收听的每个音频文件的一小部分

。 所以这又是你第八天的重点
。 您将聆听您选择的五个

音频文件,但您的目标
是快速了解总体思路。 现在对于

这个你可以选择一个两到三
分钟的间隔。 好的,所以

你要做的是在你听了
一两三分钟的

信息之后,你按下暂停键,你
不会模仿——不像上一个

阶段——而不是模仿你
试图把

你的 自己的话,你所听到的。 你在
转述。 同样,这也有助于提高

您的英语口语能力。
这个阶段非常重要。 所以请记住

只在第 8 天关注这一点,好吧。 现在在
第九天,或第九阶段,间隔

聆听。 间隔收听是指
花时间处理

您收听的每个音频文件的一小部分。 这很
关键,因为有时作为学生,你

想听很多东西
而不停下来实际接受

信息。所以这是你
第九天的重点。 听听你选择的五个音频文件

,好吧。 但您的目标是花
时间处理信息。 所以也许去

一个安静的房间或者去一个你
可以放松的地方。 戴上耳机或

把音乐调大,或者
你正在收听的任何文件。

如有必要,请放松并聆听并暂停。 但是倾听
并尝试接受和理解这些

信息,好吧。 您也可以间隔执行此操作
。 好的,现在第十天。

是的,我总是喜欢休息日。 作为一名
老师,我总是告诉我的学生

,让你的大脑休息一天很重要
。 所以这就是将要

发生的事情。 第一天到第十天是我们刚刚
过去的。

但是,您会看到第 11 天到第 20 天和第
21 天到第 30 天只是

前十天的镜像。 唯一的区别是
您将选择不同的音频文件。

但是你在练习同样的九个
阶段,好吧。 并且永远记住在

第十天你要让自己休息一下。
在这 30 天之后,我

保证您的高级听力技能将
得到超出您想象的提高。

现在如果你想继续和我一起学习,

Tiffani Academy”。 我有大量的月刊
英语学习期刊、课程、电子书

甚至音频系列——仅针对
