My study about english language didn't stop, but I haven't had time to work on. Lately, I have dedicated to my listening. To improve my ability to understand persons talking in english, I had taken some attitudes like:
- Listen english songs.
- Listen english podcasts.
Podcasts in english were my discovered of this semester. After I bought a smartphone, it became more easier listen them. So, I treated to put a dozen of them to listen randomly. Among a music and other, I always have a podcast to listen. Large part of the time, I'm not paying atention to what they are saying, but I feel that my contact with idiom is increasing, and I'm each time more able to understand the language. It's weird when I'm distracted and suddenly I understand some part of conversation, or even, whole conversation. After I began to listen podcasts, I have payed more attention to musics. Sometimes I get the meaning without difficulty. I believe that I improved much.
When I began to listen podcasts, I searched by issues that I liked like business and music. I downloaded some episodes of Word Nerds podcast. The last one, until now, offered the more atractives episodes. The best part, it's that is an english podcast made to english citizens. They talk about rules, curiositys, interesting words, and discuss randomic themes. They are still funny. Another advantage is that the episodes are well edited, with good songs between parts. I liked much, perhaps someone likes too. Link to the "Word Nerds" podcast is http://thewordnerds.org/.
Enjoy it!
