Learning a foreign language can be challenging, but with the right techniques, you can simplify and accelerate the learning process. One effective way to learn a language is to devote time to your listening skills. Listening to a language not only helps you pick up new words and expressions, but also enables you to better understand its structure and pronunciation. In this article, we explore how by listening attentively at certain times and casually at others, you can better learn a foreign language.
Listening to a foreign language offers a number of advantages. It is not necessary to always listen very actively at all times to learn a language.
Passive listening means that you hear the language around you without actively trying to understand exactly what is being said. You might do this by listening to music or a podcast, for example. Through regular passive listening, you begin to better recognise the sounds and intonations of the language, which lays an important foundation for your language skills.
Active listening involves trying to accurately understand what is being said. This can be done by listening to conversations, news reports or audiobooks in the foreign language. Active listening involves figuring out exactly what is being said and looking up words you do not know. This approach helps you expand your vocabulary and deepen your understanding of the language.
Listening also plays a vital role in improving your pronunciation. Singing along with music, imitating others and listening to recordings of yourself can help you refine your pronunciation. These methods help you learn the right sounds and intonation of the language.
At Unikcolors Media Institute, we place great importance on listening skills as part of the language courses. We do this both during the private lessons with language trainers and during independent study hours in the language lab.
You interact with a language trainer in your private lessons. Through these conversations, you automatically pick up certain words and expressions, which improves your vocabulary and listening skills. The face-to-face communication with your trainer ensures that you listen actively and pick up the language naturally.
Unikcolors Media Institute also supports attentive listening in the language laboratory. There, you listen to recordings and repeat them while recording yourself. You then listen to your own pronunciation, which gives you the chance to improve. This repetition and correction of your pronunciation helps you speak more accurately and confidently.
