Going further
A little bit of listening each week goes a long way.
Our course resumes on 21st September but in the meantime but you can maintain your level over the break by doing a little bit of listening in English a couple of times a week. Songs, films, tv shows, Ted talks and podcasts (such as More or Less or Law In Action) are all good sources for your practice and remember that is important to listen to natural speech even if you can't understand everything. The challenge next term is to stop translating and start thinking in English and you can prepare yourself for this by doing as much listening practice as you can.
Congratulations on your progress this term.
Have a good summer.
Sean.
