HI Anryroman
How to improve my English listening?
I love to travel to different countries But sometimes there I didn't completely understand the local people speaking English and what they were talking about. I heard words which I didn't know the meaning. I've been trying to improve my English listening in different ways, but that hasn't worked out. If you are reading this note do you have any suggestions/tips for me?

How to Improve My English Listening Skills?
I love traveling to different countries, but sometimes, when they speak English, I do not completely understand what the local people are talking about during those conversations. I often hear words that I do not know the meaning of, so naturally, I have been trying to improve my “ear” for English in different ways, but that hasn't worked out very well. If you are reading this note do you have any suggestions or tips for me?*
Hi, Andyroman. Good job! Whatever changes I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify your thoughts, and for ease of reading. Sincerest apologies if I have misinterpreted. I hope that this helps you. Jonathan
*As to suggestions, listen to English language radio broadcasts, such as the news. That way you can just focus on hearing the words without the distraction of movement as would happen while watching TV or a movie. Write down the words you do not know, then look up their meaning. I have read somewhere that once you know 2,500 to 3,000 words, you can understand 90% of the English language that you will encounter in conversations, newspapers and magazines. Best of luck!

Hi Hannah and Williams, thank you.

Hi Andy, to add to what the others have said, another good way to improve your listening in English is to get plenty of conversation practice. If you're struggling to find a partner, there are many tutors here on italki who offer conversation practice as part of their lessons. For example, I offer a conversation practice lesson for a fairly low price, and even lower if you book a trial session with me. Good luck on your English learning journey! :)

Hello Andy, the best way to improve is to keep having conversations! Speaking and listening are key to this, not just listening on it's own. To be able to understand and react and keep the conversation flowing is something you will become more natural at the more you try it. Good luck :-)
