Steve's Language Learning Tips, The Key to Improved Listening Comprehension

The Key to Improved Listening Comprehension

Hi there, Steve Kaufmann here and today I want to talk about

listening comprehension, how to improve our listening comprehension,

uh, based on my experience.

Uh, remember that that listening comprehension, at least for me

is, is the fundamental goal, the fundamental activity.

You wanna understand what people are saying.

If you can understand movies, if you can understand podcasts, if you can

understand, you know, conversations, the other end of the conversation, you

can eventually get to where you can hold up your end of the conversation.

Uh, I spend up most of my time listening.

Listening comprehension is, is where the action is in my opinion.

Of course.

I mentioned reading as a way to increase your vocabulary so that later on

when you hear these words, you might have a chance to understand them.

But listening comprehension is where I spend most of my time.

But before I get into more detail, I want to tell you two stories.

So first of all, Uh, the first takes place in St.

Petersburg, Russia.

I had been studying Russian for four years, I guess, off and on.

I listened to audio books, Russian literature.

I listened to political discussions from a radio station.

I understood a lot of Russian, and I'm in St.

Petersburg.

I want to buy a train ticket to go to Vyborg, which is just north of, of St.

Petersburg on the electric train.

And so I'm waiting in line and, uh, finally it's my turn to tell the

lady there behind the counter what I wanted and, uh, a certain amount

of trepidation here, you know, using the language in not to listen to

political discussion, but to use it in a very practical, specific situation.

And I said, I would like to buy a ticket to go to Vyborg.

And she comes back at me with something and I didn't understand

what she said and I had to repeat and, and ask her to repeat.

And finally, whatever she said, I can't remember.

Uh, I got the picture and I paid her and I got my ticket.

So that's one situation.

Uh, another situation I was talking to, we have a Mexican

gardener here in Palm Springs.

And, uh, we were talking about different things and all of a

sudden he said, uh, I said, what?

"Pow", "pow", what's "pow"?

And finally, I figured out it was pago.

It had to do with his payment.

Somehow his bank transfers weren't going through.

What's the significance of these two little stories?

I have found time and time again that in order to understand a part.

Um, context, you kind of have to have experienced it before.

So you have to be able to anticipate what is coming at you.

And if you have not had that particular situation before,

it will be more difficult.

So the second time, or the third time that I go to buy a train ticket

in Russia, it'll be easier for me 'cause I've already experienced it.

I can anticipate what the person's going to say.

Uh, similarly with, with this Mexican gardener, if I knew kind of roughly the

context of what he was talking about, I might have been able to connect

the fact that Pago to him was almost "pow", or at least I heard it as "pow".

And this is important because there's so many different accents,

even within a particular accent.

People have different ways of pronouncing things.

It's very important to therefore be able to anticipate.

And what that means is when you don't understand, don't criticize yourself.

Don't blame yourself.

The fact that you're in a situation where you don't understand is a good

thing because you have now time to think about that, and so next time

around you probably will do better.

I mean, you can do things just by dent of doing a lot of listening.

You are exposing yourself to more different situations.

Even if you're, you know, watching a series on Netflix, uh, you're sort of

involved now in a, in an environment.

It might be a family, it might be, gosh knows whatever is happening

and as you spend more and more time in that situation, you're gradually

going to understand more because you're becoming familiar with, with

what people say to each other within that particular context that you

have been sort of catapulted into.

So I, I only wanna make this point because I, I think people sometimes get very

upset if, if they feel they have a good level of comprehension and then they're

put in a very specific situation and they have trouble understanding what is said.

No harm done.

You ask the person to repeat as I did with a Mexican gardener or

with a, I shouldn't say Mexican.

He's a, he's an American, but he doesn't speak English here in Palm Springs.

Uh, or with the, uh, the lady selling the train ticket in St.

Petersburg, I just ask again.

And, uh, so, you know, my advice, uh, uh, in terms of listening

comprehension is, you know, expose yourself to as many different accents.

As many different situations, as many different contexts as possible.

And recognize that there will always be situations where even some of the

most basic bits of vocabulary will pass you by things that you think

you should be able to understand.

You won't understand them.

And that's just part of improving your listening comprehension.

And uh, and that's why I should say by the way, that exposing yourself

to, you know, speaking situations, not being afraid to make mistakes,

not being afraid to not understand.

Having one situation where you didn't understand and you go back in there again.

And the third time you will understand that particular context.

And there are so many other contexts that you need to, you know, expose yourself to.

Uh, so a big part of language, you know, in progressing in our languages is having

a sense of confidence, and that means not becoming overly concerned about

situations where you didn't understand.

Just keep going.

So I have talked before about listening comprehension, and I'll leave you with

a couple of videos on the subject.

I hope this is helpful.

Bye for now.

I have found time and time again that in order to understand a part. ||обнаружил||||||||||| Я снова и снова убеждаюсь, что для того, чтобы понять часть.

Um, context, you kind of have to have experienced it before. |文脈||||||||| ええと、コンテキスト、あなたはそれを以前に経験している必要があります。 Контекст - это то, что вы должны испытать раньше.

And if you have not had that particular situation before, |||||||конкретной|| И если у вас раньше не было такой ситуации,

it will be more difficult.

So the second time, or the third time that I go to buy a train ticket Assim, na segunda ou terceira vez que vou comprar um bilhete de comboio Так что во второй или в третий раз, когда я пойду покупать билет на поезд.

in Russia, it'll be easier for me 'cause I've already experienced it. ||||легче||||||| ロシアでは、すでに経験しているので簡単です。

So I, I only wanna make this point because I, I think people sometimes get very Por isso, só quero fazer esta observação porque acho que as pessoas, por vezes, ficam muito Поэтому я, я хочу сказать об этом только потому, что, как мне кажется, люди иногда очень

And, uh, so, you know, my advice, uh, uh, in terms of listening ||||||совет по поводу||||||

comprehension is, you know, expose yourself to as many different accents. понимание речи||||подвергать себя||||||акценты comprehension is, you know, expose yourself to as many different accents. 理解とは、ご存知のように、さまざまなアクセントにできるだけ多くさらされることです。

As many different situations, as many different contexts as possible. |||||||文脈|| できるだけ多くの異なる状況、できるだけ多くの異なるコンテキスト。

And recognize that there will always be situations where even some of the |признайте||||||||||| |||||||||même||| И признать, что всегда будут возникать ситуации, когда даже некоторые из

most basic bits of vocabulary will pass you by things that you think |||||将||||||| 語彙の最も基本的なビットは、あなたが考えていることであなたを通り過ぎます Самые простые словарные слова будут проходить мимо вас, как вам кажется.

you should be able to understand. 理解できるはずです。 вы должны быть в состоянии понять.

You won't understand them. |ne vas pas|| Вы их не поймете.

And that's just part of improving your listening comprehension. ||||||||понимание на слух ||||||||compréhension

And uh, and that's why I should say by the way, that exposing yourself ||||||||||||s'exposer|vous И, кстати, именно поэтому я должен сказать, что обнажение себя

to, you know, speaking situations, not being afraid to make mistakes, 話す場面で、間違いを恐れず、 к, знаете, речевым ситуациям, не бояться делать ошибки,

not being afraid to not understand. 理解できないことを恐れない。

Having one situation where you didn't understand and you go back in there again. Quando se passa por uma situação em que não se compreendeu, volta-se a entrar nela. Попав в одну ситуацию, когда ты не понял, ты возвращаешься туда снова.

And the third time you will understand that particular context.

And there are so many other contexts that you need to, you know, expose yourself to. |||||||||||||подвергать|| ||||||||||à||||| Существует множество других контекстов, в которых необходимо проявлять себя.

Uh, so a big part of language, you know, in progressing in our languages is having ||||||||||продвижении вперёд||||| ||||||||you understand||||||| ||||||||||進歩する||||| ええと、私たちの言語の進歩において、言語の大部分は

a sense of confidence, and that means not becoming overly concerned about |||уверенность в себе||||||чрезмерно|обеспокоенным| |||confiance||||||trop|| |||自信||||||過度に|| 自信があり、それは過度に心配しないことを意味します чувство уверенности, а это значит, что не стоит слишком беспокоиться о том, что

situations where you didn't understand. あなたが理解していなかった状況。

Just keep going. Continua a andar.

So I have talked before about listening comprehension, and I'll leave you with |||||||понимание на слух|||||

a couple of videos on the subject. この件に関するいくつかのビデオ。

I hope this is helpful.

Bye for now. Goodbye||
