How can I understand things better?

I have many difficulties trying to understand what people say in English.

I know how to say many things, because I always try to keep some contact with TV shows and songs, but when I try to talk to someone, or when I try to sing a complete song (even hearing the song over and over again), I fail.

Can anybody found give me some tips to improve it? Please?

There are many tips:

1. Read some e-book in PDF and then find the same on Youtube, so you can listen it. 

2. Listen to the radio stations and then try to write down what did they say

3. Watch the TV shows, series, movies, ... with subtitles (but at first try not to read the subtitles, but try to understand it first. If you really don't know any word, then yes, read subttiles) 

4. Talk to your friends, or with teachers here on Italki 

etc

 

I hope my comment was helpful to you. If you have any further questios, please, don't hesitate to ask me. 

Have a nice day.

I have issues with this too, and the way I improve my listening is to just listen a lot. Movies, TV, Youtube, music, audiobooks, etc. Expand your vocabulary and familiarize yourself with some grammar. Doing this has greatly improved my listening comprehension. Also, try to speak as much as possible so you get used to hearing and communicating in the language. You don't have to understand every word spoken, just pay attention to context and key words to try to understand the meaning. I hope this helps ^-^

Hi, Edimar! You can use a website ororo.tv. There are a lot of free American TV shows with subtitles in different languages. Take care!

So am I, I also have so many problem with my E, mainly is my reflex. When i meet foreign people, i don't know how to talk with them. Although, I try my best to prepare the question to ask them. And maybe, my mistake that is biggest is I can't understand fully what they want to talk to me. So, i feel so sad and i must try more every day.
