Description

This Go Natural American English tip from Gabby is, in my mind, one of the most important. It has been said that immersion in a culture is the best way to learn a foreign language. If living in another country is not possible, then the next best thing is to listen to as much of the language as you can.
 
You should try to read a little bit more every day and listen to television and radio shows as often as you can. Try to mimic the accents that you hear. Audio books are a great way to listen to a language. You can use the time that you spend riding the train or bus to listen to a few book chapters. If you don’t have audio books, then listen to song lyrics and try to imitate the way the words sound. Whatever you do, never give up.
 
Be sure to visit gonaturalenglish.com and discover a community of American English learners who are experiencing the same struggles, anxieties, and even joys of learning a new language. You will be amazed at how quickly your fluency improves once you start spending time immersed in the language.

The second step to fluency here at Go Natural English is to listen a lot.
Listen! Not to everything but listen specifically to the kind of English that you want to be able to understand and to speak.
So, for example, if you’re interested in being able to discuss the news with people, you should listen to the news in English.
If you want to talk about sports with your friends in English, then listen to sports news.
If you want to be able to have regular conversations with people, then perhaps watch some sitcoms on TV, or listen in to real conversations, or listen to podcasts.
They’re a great way to hear natural English.
So again, step two is to listen a lot, and make English a part of your daily life so that you’re listening to English a little bit, or a lot, every day.
