Welcome to my channel, let's practice your listening skill.
0:04 - 0:11
With video level A1, and the topic is learning English.
0:11 - 0:13
Now listen carefully.
0:13 - 0:17
Tom, I'm so tired of learning English.
0:17 - 0:18
Why?
0:18 - 0:19
What happened?
0:19 - 0:21
It's just so hard.
0:21 - 0:25
Everyone says, listen more, and your English will get better.
0:25 - 0:26
Yeah, that's true.
0:26 - 0:28
No, it's not.
0:28 - 0:32
I listen every day, but my listening is still terrible.
0:32 - 0:35
Maybe you fall asleep while listening.
0:35 - 0:37
No, I really listen.
0:37 - 0:41
I watch videos, podcasts, songs, everything.
0:41 - 0:44
But I still don't understand.
0:44 - 0:46
Don't worry, it takes time.
0:46 - 0:47
Time?
0:47 - 0:50
I've been listening for six months.
0:50 - 0:53
My ears are tired, my brain is tired.
0:53 - 0:55
OK, OK, calm down, Anna.
0:55 - 0:57
I can't.
0:57 - 1:02
Every time I think I'm better, I meet a foreigner, and boom, I understand nothing.
1:02 - 1:03
That's normal.
1:03 - 1:05
English people speak too fast.
1:05 - 1:08
It's like they eat all the words.
1:08 - 1:11
True, but you know what's harder for me?
1:11 - 1:12
Vocabulary.
1:12 - 1:14
Ugh, don't even start.
1:14 - 1:16
Vocabulary is a nightmare.
1:16 - 1:19
Every day I learn 10 new words.
1:19 - 1:21
The next day, I forget nine of them.
1:21 - 1:24
Exactly, it's like my brain has a delete button.
1:24 - 1:30
And there are too many forms, present, past, future, irregular verbs.
1:30 - 1:31
I want to cry.
1:31 - 1:33
Don't forget word types.
1:33 - 1:38
Nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, they never end.
1:38 - 1:41
Yeah, I see a new word, and I'm like, please, no more.
1:41 - 1:46
Same, I open my book, see a new grammar rule, and just close it again.
1:46 - 1:48
That's me every night before bed.
1:48 - 1:50
I will study tomorrow.
1:50 - 1:53
Tomorrow never comes, Tom.
1:53 - 1:55
You sound like a sad love song.
1:55 - 1:57
Because English broke my heart.
1:57 - 1:59
So dramatic.
1:59 - 2:00
I'm serious.
2:00 - 2:03
My brain is full of English, but empty in life.
2:03 - 2:04
Come on, Anna.
2:04 - 2:07
English is hard, but we're getting better.
2:07 - 2:08
Are we, though?
2:08 - 2:11
I still can't spell environment without crying.
2:11 - 2:14
Same, I just say nature stuff.
2:15 - 2:17
Good idea.
2:17 - 2:21
Maybe we should stop studying and just move to England.
2:21 - 2:24
Yeah, and die from confusion on day one.
2:24 - 2:26
Okay, maybe not.
2:26 - 2:29
But seriously, Tom, how do you keep going?
2:29 - 2:29
Easy.
2:29 - 2:33
I think about my goal, watching movies with no subtitles.
2:33 - 2:35
That's a good goal.
2:35 - 2:36
What's yours?
2:36 - 2:41
To talk to foreigners without saying, sorry, can you repeat every two seconds?
2:41 - 2:42
Great dream.
2:42 - 2:43
Let's not give up, then.
2:43 - 2:48
Fine, but if I fail, you're studying with me forever.
2:48 - 2:49
Deal.
2:49 - 2:50
English partners for life.
2:50 - 2:52
Partners in pain, you mean.
2:54 - 2:59
True.
2:59 - 3:03
Tom, I'm so tired of learning English.
3:03 - 3:03
Why?
3:03 - 3:04
What happened?
3:04 - 3:06
It's just so hard.
3:06 - 3:10
Everyone says, listen more, and your English will get better.
3:10 - 3:12
Yeah, that's true.
3:12 - 3:13
No, it's not.
3:13 - 3:17
I listen every day, but my listening is still terrible.
3:17 - 3:20
Hmm, maybe you fall asleep while listening.
3:20 - 3:23
No, I really listen.
3:23 - 3:29
I watch videos, podcasts, songs, everything, but I still don't understand.
3:29 - 3:32
Don't worry, it takes time.
3:32 - 3:33
Time?
3:33 - 3:35
I've been listening for six months.
3:35 - 3:38
My ears are tired, my brain is tired.
3:38 - 3:41
Okay, okay, calm down, Anna.
3:41 - 3:42
I can't.
3:42 - 3:47
