    What's the good way to improve listen and speaking skills?

    What's the good way to improve listening and speaking skills?


    I just wanna know that when you learn languages, and you would like to improve your

    listening and speaking skills, how do you study?

    I mean, which kind of materials you usually use? For example, YouTube videos, apps, audio books...and so on.


    The reason why I want to discuss that just because, I can communicate with native English speakers, but if they speak fast or if they use lots of idioms or slangs, I cannot catch the meaning sometimes.

    I know why it happens because of my vocabulary and listening skills are not enough.

    So I need to improve both of them.


    And this is my question again.

    Can somebody recommend me good materials to improve listening and vocabulary?

    Also, I'd like to know which kind of materials you use when you study English or other languages as well.


    Thank you.

    Portuguese verbs.

    Hi guys, I wonder that what is the difference between,

    "Eu morava em Canadá quando era criança." and "Eu morei em Canadá quando era criança."

    I used translation, but both of them meanings are same so I couldn't figure out the difference.

    Can someone help me to understand?

    Thanks

    今日最初の会話練習を完成しま終えました！ミカ先生と文化に関して話したり、笑ったりしいました。最初はちょっと緊張していましたが、すごく楽しかったです！とにかく、明日の予定はアポルという犬と一緒に散歩しますをすることです！週末なのに毎日日本語を勉強しなければならないです！流暢に日本語を話すのは難しいですが、私の目的目標(もくひょう)です！明日から、毎日日本語をしゃべってみます！


    ①in English, it's gonna be like "I completed my first conversation practice" so you might use "complete." But in Japanese, it is more natural to say "会話練習を終えました" In English, it means like "I finished my first conversation practice."

    ②とにかく--> In English, you can say "By the way," but if you translate "とにかく" in this sentence, it sounds a little bit strange. So in this case, you can say "ところで" or you don't have to say any words.

    ③In English, this sentence is like "By the way, my plan for tmr is to walk along with my dog named Aporu." Like in English, you can say "my plan is to walk ..." or "my plan is walking..." So you need to change the form of the verbs (infinitive or gerund) In Japanese is also same, you need to change the form of the verb like "散歩をする⇒散歩をすること"

    ④If you translated from "to speak Japanese fluently is difficult, but it is my goal" It's better to say 私の目標です。

    (sobre hoje)about today I would like you to correct my grammar of português. Thanks. Hoje estava muita neve hoje. (today was snowing really hard.) Estava muito frio, mas a neve emphiliada na rua. (it was no so cold but the snow piled up on the street) Alguns ônibus não correram por causa da neve pesada. (Some buses didn't run due to the snow) A neve é bonito mas afeta o transporte público. (the snow is beautiful but it affects public transportations)
