Today,I want to talk about about new discoveries of listening.When we learn a new language,listening is the first important thing.You can practice your sensitivity of the new language by immersing in the sound of the language.I used this way to learning English,and there are some things that I discovered recently.

Firstly,If you pay attention,you can understand more of the audio.Have you ever thought our understanding of the new language may not just depends on how much vocabulary that you know,it also depends on how familiar you are of the vocabularies.And also how do you apply your attention.Now,I want to talk about the second situation. Some people listening a period of audio,while doing other things.And when he or she do that,he or she couldn’t pay a lot of attention onto the audio.He or she might understand something,but it is less far away from when you pay fully attention on it.The more attention you pay,the understanding will be more.When watch English movie which with Chinese subtitles,I always to notice the Chinese subtitles,when I do this,I couldn’t understand lot of the English.But when I pay more attention onto how the English sound I would understand more,and also identified more English patterns.So when you practice your listening it is better to pay fully attention onto it.

Secondly,you can understand the meaning directly.When we listening a new language,we usually to translate them into Chinese,then understand what did it mean.But it is not necessary.When you heard a audio of the new language,for example English.You can thinking what this audio stands for,maybe a object,maybe about feel,or about emotion or concept or action,whatever it is you can imagine it,and feel it in your mind,With out any Chinese translating you can understand it directly.Practice this skill,it can make your responding faster.

Thirdly,practice your listening is not just practice your language,it is also practicing your ability to control your mind.When we just start to do listening,we may cannot do it for a long time,and then loss your attention.At this time,you have to know it is time to control you attention.If your attention is lost,when you realized it,pull it back.Then maybe it will lost again,then you have to pull it back again.You are not necessary to be frustrated.You know our ability can be improve,so when you do this after again and again.your ability to attention will be improving.And very soon,you will find that the time you are focusing on listening has been longer.
