Podcasts and 5 easy ways to improve your English skills

Podcasts and 5 easy ways to improve your English skills:

Have you ever heard of podcasts? Have you ever listened to one? Did you know that podcasts are one of the easiest ways that can help you improve your listening skills?

But how can you use them more effectively?

1. 
   

   Hear:

Yes, that’s right; for the first step, you only need to hear the podcast. You don’t want to go through the listening and all the difficulties. But is it possible to hear but not listen? How are they different? Well, when you hear something you don’t necessarily comprehend, like when you are in your room and someone is watching the news in the sitting room, you hear the news sound but you don’t understand what the newsman is talking about. When you listen, on the other hand, you try to comprehend and understand everything.

2. 
   

   Listen:

Now, it’s time for some listening. Play the podcast once again and try to understand everything.

3. 
   

   Read:

Try to read along from the transcript. When you see the words the information will stick better in your mind.

4. 
   

   Repeat:

Pause the podcast and try to repeat the sentence you’ve just heard.

5. 
   

   Use:

Try to use the new vocabulary/ grammar you’ve just learned from the podcast in your daily life.
