I list a few ways in which your English listening skills could be improved. 1. Start listening to English speeches or videos which have subtitles. By this, you can learn how the words are pronounced and even you could get acknowledged with the accent. 2. Start watching English movies. By watching English movies, your level of understanding the language and your listening skills could be improved. 3. When practicing the listening components, try to write down a short notes using only keywords while you are listening to the audio components. This would let you know your understanding level of the listening components. 4. Start from small length audio listening and later on increase the time of the audio components. Hope this helps. You can contact me for further details if you are interested. read less
