Listen!!!

The natural way of learning a language should ideally begin with listening. But most often, this is the one area of language learning that most of us over look.

It should ideally follow LSRW. Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing

How did we learn English? Let's take a look at it:

1. We started with English alphabet. At school, we were taught how to write ABC even before we learnt to pronounce it properly.

2. Then, we were taught to read. We learnt to frame sentences and read simple sentences.

3. But we couldn't speak in English. It was long after that we could manage to speak.

4. Finally, listening ..something that we still haven't taken care of.

So, here we have actually taken the inverse method. That's the main reason why most of us do not have a strong foundation.

There are so many English Listening Lessons available on the Internet. You can listen to them even while you are working.
