Hey Ann- Don’t give up! Maybe you just aren’t using the best tools for listening. I like lyrics training.com, it’s a website that helps you use music and you fill in the blanks. Also, Youglish is YouTube for pronunciation. You can type in an English word and then all video clips that have that word show up. You can practice repeating after them. Honestly, speaking and listening are both important, so you need to improve speaking to better listening. Oral English is not the same as written English. How often do you speak the language?
