TOP TIP! Little pieces of advice to help you improve your listening comprehension

LISTEN ACTIVELY, NOT PASSIVELY
Active listening means giving your full attention and having a clear purpose. Before pressing play, decide what you want to understand (main idea, opinions, details). Avoid multitasking—your brain cannot process language deeply while distracted.
