The third step to fluency the Go Natural English way is to pay attention, or to understand
that you don't know everything.
So, try to understand which areas, or which words in English you don't understand.
If you don't understand about 30% of what you're listening to, that is a good material
to listen to because it will challenge you to learn more.
If you understand about 80%, or 90%, or 100%, then that material is great but it should
just be regular maintenance.
You are not going to learn a lot of new vocabulary from something that you completely understand.
So, if you are aware that you cannot understand about 30% or more of what you're listening
to, then it's a good challenge material.
If you cannot understand more than 50% of what you're listening to, then it's too difficult.
Try something that's a little bit easier.
Now, when you're listening to material that is good for your level and giving you a little
challenge you have to pick out or select the words that are new, that you don't know yet
so that you can research them, so that you can ask your native speaker teacher or friends
about what those words mean.
And that is how we grow our vocabulary, little by little, listening to the kinds of materials
that we want to be able to understand and to speak like.
So, step three is to notice the new words that you want
to learn.
