Listening
My greatest difficulty in English has been the LISTENING. I'm trying to watch some movies and series in English without subtitles, I also have been trying to read the lyrics of the English songs that I like and sing it correctly. I cannot understand many sentences and expressions yet, but talk with people in English, in Skype for example, it's even hard! I often keep asking people to repeat what they said over and over again... Or I ask them to type to me. It can be a bit annoying sometimes, I feel frustrated, 'cause I believe that the most important when you learn a new language is the comprehension.

My greatest difficulty in English has been the LISTENING. I'm trying to watch some movies and series in English without subtitles. I also have been trying to read the lyrics* of the English songs that I like and sing them correctly. I still cannot understand many sentences and expressions, and talking English in Skype, for example, is hard! I keep asking people to repeat what they said over and over again... Or I ask them to type to me. It can be a bit annoying sometimes, I feel frustrated, because I believe that the most important part of a new language is comprehension.*many native English speakers also have problems here. What, for instance, does "la la la la la.." mean? I still don't know.
very well written and fully comprehensible!

Thank you all for the tips! :)
Madeleine, french looks easy to read. I'm beginner in that. But when the people speak... My god! I cannot understand nothing at all! Hahaha

I also think that. You can try to find a friend or the English group. That is the good environment to help you feel confident and accustom to listening with different voice. Try on

I am learning French and I have found the same thing! Reading and writing is alright, but listening and speaking is so much harder. I have been watching movies and TV series in French with French subtitles, and have found that is quite good for hearing how phrases are pronounced (as sometimes words run into each other and that's where it gets hard to understand).

Hey, my name is Laelson. I'm from Brazil... i just want to say that i can understand you. it's really frustrating not be able to understand when the persons are speaking in english - yeah, i know. But keep studying, watching movies and series... listening a lot, and i believe that you will be able to understand when they speak. Keep learning.
