Quick mouth , slow ear

Hello Jarib,

Your problem is a common one for learners of any language but especially English. In English we only sound the most important words properly and the others 'disappear' into a 'noise' which is difficult to work out. Focus on listening to the words you hear more clearly and then try to fill in the other words to get the full meaning.

Remember in that when we drop letters in English ('do not' > don't),  we use an apostrophe to show that letters are missing. Always use a capital (big) 'I' in front of a verb - even if it isn't at the start of a sentence.

Hope this helps

Good job! I understand the meaning of your entry completely but  here is another way to write it which makes it read just a little more smoothly.  

I think that one of my weaknesses in English is my listening, especially when people have accents that I'm not familiar with. If i don't have to use words I find difficult to pronounce such as 'entrepreneur', 'surgery' or 'taught',  then I can speak quite fluently. However, then I find that the people who I am conversing with will talk at a faster speed and this is when I struggle the most because i can't understand them. I then have to ask them to repeat what they said, the conversation loses momentum ,and i feel apologetic towards them.
