hello everybody today we will learn
English listening skills with
two great programs
I get that question a lot about how can I
listen to native speakers
better or how can I
comprehend what people are doing and I'm going to not tell you but show you I'm gonna show you
how to do that
I wrote an article on my website how to learn English quickly
and there are really 4 1 2 3 4
things you can do to learn English more quickly
the first is desire desire, desire are things you want to do
emotions are things like anger sadness joy happy excited
and then this thing, scanning, scanning is to look at words to look at a word quickly
on an article
and then interaction, interaction is to write or speak
with other people
and I'm gonna show you how you can do this with the tools from the Internet for free
OK the first one is desire
and you have to find
an article or something from the Internet
that you like
that you enjoy
so for example
let's say you love to travel
you like traveling a lot and let's just say you like
beaches
so I will click here top 10 beaches
and now you have them here and I'm just a click here Rio De Janeiro
you could pick any one and this is for anything that you like I'm just showing you
how to do this so I'll click here
and it gives me
Rio De Janeiro
but now you wanna find the beaches so what you will do is hit control F
and you type in beach EACH
and now the article
when you go down or use scroll down you can see it right here beach
and then it's gonna show you everything related to
beaches or beach
and I will go down
and you'll see here there's beaches beaches so this article
by hitting control F and typing in beach you'll see all the parts
of the article about beaches and that is a great way
to scan that's my part three you scan you look
quickly at words that you are interested in that you have a desire
and that
like part two they give you emotions that get you excited
or happy
OK so here are a lot of
words on beaches and so you kind of go WOW so this is the part that you like
and that you want
to learn about but how do you listen
how do you get comprehension and get better at English so
here was the beach that we liked so
what you'll do is highlight
you'll hit control C
go to google and in the search box hit control V and there is the
the word are the beach in this case
and now you can just scroll down
and see what you like
I like this one daily destination
so I will click that
and its a quick article
with a nice picture that looks gorgeous there's a few like beaches you'll probably be very happy right now
you got a big smile on your face and that helps with learning
but we have the article
and you see many words that you don't like
you might say here blessed
or encouraged
maybe this hillsides they might be too difficult
so what you do is
you go to a web site called lingro.com
and I made another video of it so if you click right here
I will have a link to click to that video and you can see more about it
so you go to the address bar
you highlight it
then you hit control C
you go back to Lingro.com
you click in there and you hit control V
and then you click here
and that same exact article you can now
go to
any word
and click it
and there you have the definition
so you can learn it
and on most words you click here
Catholic
and you will be able to listen
to the word
you can
learn the definition and hear it
and what you want to do is
it goes back to this scanning
when you scan something
you look at the article quickly
for words that you don't understand and you just learn a few key words because
what that does is it puts
a thing called schemas
in your head up here in your brain
schemas are like file cabinets these are file cabinets
these right here these are files
and this is the cabinet
when your brain has learned something previously
then it is more likely to learn it in the future
so that's why you scan you look at the article at big words
to get an idea and remember this is an article that you like
so your brain
is more likely to listen and pay attention
but how does that help you
listen better
OK I'm gonna show you now another trick
you can do
so here is that article again
you hit control C
and now you're gonna go
to a web site called soundgecko.com
you go down to this bar right here
and you hit control V
so control + V then you put in your e-mail address
and I have been on this site so don't worry about your e-mail address I have never had problem
you click here where it says listen to article now
it will process your article
OK that took about 30 seconds to process it depends on your computer so it might take a little longer
but
here is the article
an MP3 form or file
and all you have to do is click on and here it its
three million people
poured into Copacabana Beach in Rio De Janeiro on some
now it's a computer voice
but it's still good enough
and the important thing is
you are learning
something you like
so your brain
is more likely to listen if you like beaches and you can do this with any article
in the world you just put it into soundgecko.com and it will speak to you
for that anything
now if the English audio is too
fast
stay tuned for part two
because I'm gonna show you
a couple more techniques or skills listening skills or
programs to help you slow it down
and learn
even more
so click here for part two
and let me recap so we have desire so in the example I showed you if you like beaches
then you find articles
on beaches for emotions
the beaches get you excited
or happy
so that gets you're emotions going
