Professional TeacherWhy you still struggle to understand Brazilians speaking and HOW TO SOLVE IT?
Most students think that improving their listening skills is just about “listening more”.
So they:
– listen to the same audio multiple times
– turn on the captions
– try to understand everything at once
And even so... they progress very slowly.
Because listening without a clear goal is passive repetition. If every time you hit play you do the exact same thing, your brain doesn’t learn anything new.
Listening doesn't improve just with quantity.
It also needs focus.
So if you want to get better, every listen should have a mission:
– understand the big picture
– identify words or meanings
– notice sounds
– connect everything
If you just “listen again”, you’re not training. You’re just relying on luck.
If you want to know exactly how to put this into practice, just send me a message! I'll share a tool I built to systematize all of this for you using music that you can start using for free. 🎧
