Improve your English listening and speaking with The Three Listen Rule.
In this English Unleashed episode, Tom teaches you a simple and powerful way to practise listening in English. Many English learners listen to one podcast, one video, or one dialogue only once. Then they move to the next lesson. But if you listen only one time, your brain has too much work to do. You are trying to understand the words, the meaning, the grammar, the pronunciation, and the speaker’s speed all at the same time.
That is why The Three Listen Rule can help you.
In this lesson, you will learn how to listen to the same short English audio three times, but with a different purpose each time.
The first listen is for the big idea.
The second listen is for useful language.
The third listen is for speaking practice.
This method helps you stop worrying about every single word. Instead, you learn how to understand the main message, notice useful English phrases, and then use those phrases in your own speaking.
This podcast is made for A2 English learners and lower intermediate learners who want to improve their listening, speaking, pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency in a simple and natural way. Tom speaks clearly and smoothly, so you can follow the ideas without feeling stressed.
You will also hear simple examples of useful sentence patterns, such as:
I was going to call you, but I forgot.
Do you want me to help you?
I am really sorry, but I cannot come tonight.
I usually make a plan in the morning, but I do not always follow it.
These sentence patterns are useful because you can change them and use them in your real life. This is one of the best ways to build fluency. You do not only copy English. You learn how to make your own sentences.
First, listen for the story. Do not pause. Do not translate every word. Just try to understand the main idea.
Second, listen for useful language. Choose only three useful phrases or sentence patterns. Do not write too many new words. Choose English that is close to your life.
Third, listen and speak. Pause after short sentences. Repeat with feeling. Copy the rhythm. Then change the sentence and make your own examples.
This is how listening becomes speaking.
This method is useful for daily English practice, English self study, English listening practice, English speaking practice, shadowing practice, pronunciation practice, and vocabulary building.
If you want to improve your English every day, do not always search for new lessons. Sometimes the best thing is to stay with one short audio and use it deeply. Listen once for meaning. Listen again for useful language. Listen a third time for speaking.
Small practice every day can make a big difference.
