A problem about English listening skills
As you know, I am always weak at English listening skills. Dixie and other friends told me:"Rose, just watch english VCD and TV, listen, listen listen.. then you will improve your listening ability!"
According to these kind advices, I bought some English VCDs to watch. how ever, to your surprise, when I watch english stuff, I just can understand some insulting words well, such as "~", "~", "damn", "~", "bastard"...etc. but I can't understand those desent words well. what happened?
Are those insulting words more rememberable than those desent words? how come? how can I really improve my english listening ability? instead of remembering there lousy words...

Your best chance of improving your listening comprehension is to come and try to kill me. You see, when you arrive, you will need instructions to find me, so you would need to asked people. You unwillingly have to speak and listen in English. So, in order to find me, you will have to understand, therefore, enhancing your listening comprehension.

by the way, what are useful vcds? you mean english movies? yeah, now I often watch them. however, my english aural skills don't improve that much. what about mp3? I want to listen to some english stuff by mp3. because mp3 is easy to carry, so I can listen to english stuff in my spare time. I donna whether it works.

thank you, but I just checked my dictionary. and it is evident that advice is a countable noun. Maybe we have different dictionariesLalee wrote:Red, don't forget that the noun "advice" is uncountable. ;)RedRose wrote:thank you for your great advices :D
The best way you can improve your listening skills is by getting a bf who is a native english speaker of English. I'll do the same thing.
BTW, I don't think it is reasonable to find a native english bf just for the purpose of learning english. that is crazy ;)
Besides, I hope that you can find your real Mr. Right in the future. what about essie?
Definitely, Jimmy loves Dixie crazily. I bet it must not be gossip...it is a truth. however, just take easy.

thank you. recently, I have already watched Friends from Season 1~Season 10. and it is a fun way to improve my english listening skills. and according to you guys' advices, I will listen more english stuff, such as online radio, english taps, english movies and music...
someday if I can understand an english movie perfectly, I will treat myself to a dinner for celebration.
