Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everyone, welcome back to my channel once again. Have
you ever noticed that and have you ever wondered about it?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
That?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Why every time that you listen to any of the speaker,
any eloquant speaker, when it comes to becoming fluent and
becoming advance in this language, everybody focusing upon and emphasizing
the one practice only each and every time. How many
times this happens. You're listening to someone and somebody is
(00:28):
suggesting you doing work upon one practice, which is listening.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Why this happens, Why.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
It is so important, and why people all the time
emphasizing this practice only. There's a reason behind it. If
you're listening to any speaker, and if you want to
become an eloquant speaker, so then you're listening the peopers,
the native speakers, or those are fluent in advance, they
always emphasize focusing upon one practice separately. Why is it
(01:01):
really important or what is the even need of this
practice only? Why they are putting this much of the
concentration on this practice only? You know, listening is the
one of the practice that we are learning. Something like
we read, like we write, like we speak, that's all
the things that we do. But listening is one thing
(01:23):
that's covering your all the areas. When you read something,
you find a new word. While you are listening, somebody,
somebody is using that advance word, So your ears become
habitual of listening that new in advance world. While you
are speaking, you're trying to speak those new words, but
you are not familiar with them, you haven't spoken them early.
(01:44):
There is a higher chance to get stuck and to
forget them while you listen. In any conversation. If you're listening,
if there is a conversation is about one hour, there
will be the eight to ten times this word is
going to repeat again and again. At word will stay
in your subconscious mind for a long term. This is
(02:06):
how it is working. Whatever you read, whatever you speak,
and whatever you're trying to listen, Listening is something that
you are listening new words the way of representing yourself.
You get a lot of ideas, you get a lot
of thoughts. While you're listening to peoples, you get to
know a lot of new words. Those words you know,
(02:28):
but you forget within time again those peoples are using it,
and then you remember it. Oh I know this word,
I can speak it. So listening is overall helping you.
What are the strategies. What is the right way of listening.
There are the two ways of the listening. One is
passive or another one is active. There's are two ways.
(02:51):
One is active listening and another is passive listening. If
we talk about passive listening, while you are traveling, you
using your headphones and you are listening any podcast or
you're listening even any music, that is a passive listening.
While you're cooking, while you're doing household chorches, while you
are traveling on the way of going to your office,
(03:13):
while you are listening to it or headphone, that is
the passive listening. You will make come across to the
new words. But while you're listening passively while doing the
house of chorches or traveling in anything, you are not
able to put your focus on it. If there will
be new words comes, you will listen it, but it
(03:35):
will come.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
From one year and it will pass from another year.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You will not get a time to write it down
and to get to know its meaning and to make
some sentences and then you can use it. You don't
get that much time to make this process easy. So
this is how the passive listening happens. It makes you
familiar with this language, It makes your ears habitual to
listening these words and this lefe. But it helps you
(04:03):
to some extent. Then you need an active listening. Active
listening is that even if you're watching one short video
over YouTube, or one clip over Instagram or any of
the application which is in English language, and then you
pose that thirty seconds of the video and then you
repeat it. You listen it two three times, it's gonna
(04:27):
be help you a lot. While you're sitting down. Make
sure according to your time, make sure a time where
you can sit down, according to your routine. Then you
are actively listening. You're not just passively using headphones and
you're listening it, but you are sitting down.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
You get your phone, you watch any video.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
You play any podcast or any native speakers conversation or
any of the somebody's celebrities. Speech paus are the advanced speaker,
those are the eloquent speakers, and then you're watching them
once you watch the entire video later on.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
This will help you while you are listening.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Listening is not that in the first place, you have
to be paused and every time you have to listen
while you're listening.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
There is the two three steps.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
First one is you just watch the entire video. After
watching entire video, you will get to know the message.
What is the this video is all about? First it
will be clear in your brain. This is the first
thing that will be clear in your brain. And the
second thing is that another time that you're watching it,
you replay it and then you watch it again. After
(05:39):
that time, you put your focus upon some words, some idioms.
You actively listening it. Twice you do this and the
thrice you play that the same video which is ten
minutes video if it is, and then you're playing it
third time, you know that what is this video all about?
You know that they are using the new ones and
(06:00):
idioms and words. The third time, but you have to do.
You have to play the video. You have to open
the subtitles and you have to give your hundred person
focus upon. Then you have to open the subtitles. You
have to rewatch that video again third time the same video.
And then what you have to do is just to
(06:23):
pose the video in between. You pick up any character.
If there's two people are talking, pick one character. Another
person will speak their dialogues, another person will play their role.
But you have to keep the one character only if
this video is solo, so then you it will be
much more easy.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
So you again.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Rewatch it, you replay it, and then you post the video,
open the subtitles, and along with the subtitle shadowing the person,
you are speaking that person in the tone that person
is speaking. Not only just you reading a textbook, you
are speaking it in the way that you really want
(07:04):
to speak like a speaker. You have one line which
is written in the subtitles, so you don't have to
read it just without pauses, without any kind of the
maintaining pace that speaker to speak that line, then pause it,
and again you speak it the way the person is
speaking it the way the person. I'm not saying you
(07:24):
have to be completely gained that extent. But you don't
have to copy the person's voice, but you have to
copy where they are making pauses, where they are maintaining,
how they're maintaining their pays, where they give a little pause,
then they maintain the pace you have to speak along
(07:45):
with that. This is how your listening works. This is
how your active listening works. That is the place where
your real learnings begins.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
That is the way.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
It's the also question comes that we are listening, So
the listening is different for the every person. For the
every learner, that listening level is different. There is there
we talk about the English. There is the three levels
major levels, beginner, intermediate and then advance like A one,
(08:20):
A two, V and V two see when and C two.
So if somebody is wigner and that person is watching
somebody's video, any native speaker, it will eat their brain
because the native speakers don't even use the proper words.
They are just skipping the worst. They just only use
the slangs, just keep on maintaining their tone.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And they speak so fast. First they speak so fast.
Secondly they just eat.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
The words, and third you cannot match their speed. We're
just a wasting of your time. If you're a beginner,
then don't go for the nettive speakers conversation and their podcast.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Don't listen it.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
You go with the simple English, the simple kid's story,
the simple speaker who speaks a very simple English, and
they don't use it too much of the advance world
which you will not get it. So on the beginner level,
you should start with the simple some kids' stories. There
are the people providing the basic English speaking and if
(09:21):
you are an intermediate, then you can switch your level.
You can start watching podcasts, you can start watching the conversations,
you can start watching web series, listening to the peoples
that will help you. Then you gain your much more
better level. Then you go to advance and then you
(09:42):
also on the intermediate level. You can also watch the movies,
but it comes to advanced level. Then you understand the words,
you understand the pace. You can speak a good English.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
If you have an aim to become advanced speaker.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
If you're already intermediate or upper intermediate, then you can
gain and you can grab the new idems and words.
It's not a new for you anymore. Then you can
start listening to the native speaker. You can talk to them.
Every stages are different for the every learner. There are
the different different stages. If you are watching somebody starting
(10:19):
from scratch, don't understand even the English, don't know even
how to make sentences, don't know the rules of the grammars,
then what is the one point of watching native speakers.
So this is how your active listening practices works and
within a time you will see the changes in yourself,
(10:39):
your way of speaking, your pays your torn Everything will
get gradually improved and your accent will be natural. There
is not a particular accent which we should be spoken
because this is not our native language. We have our
native language. We have our particular accent in our own
mother term, in our own language. But this is the
(11:04):
language which we are learning. There is nothing like your
tone will be changed over the process, over the time,
your accent will be changed. You are speaking on the
beginner level differently, you will speak differently on intermediate when
you will be advanced influent, maybe your accent will be.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Changed according to that.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Because there is not a perfect tone or perfect accent
for us, because we never spoke in that accent. We
are learning it and we are finding our own accent.
This is all about for today. Thank you so much
