![]() 1. Don't panic, think positively! It sounds like a cliché, but if you start with the idea that it's too difficult, it probably will be. There's no reason why you can't understand; it takes perseverance & motivation. Remember, you CAN do it! 2. Concentrate on key words. It's NOT always NECESSARY to UNDERSTAND every single WORD. Often the GLOBAL MEANING is clear, just from the most IMPORTANT WORDS. See?! 3. Pay attention to the whole situation. Gestures & intonation can also play an important role in communication. 4. When we speak, we often use the same vocabulary over and over again! If you hear a word you don't understand, make sure that you note it down and learn it. The chances are that you'll hear it again very soon! 5. Finally, practice makes perfect! The more you listen, the easier it becomes! So, watch Netflix in English, pick up the phone when you see an international call coming through. What's the worst that can happen? You watch the same scene in your series a few times in order to understand? On the telephone you could ask someone to repeat? So what? Your colleagues will never think badly of you for making an effort to learn, but making no effort will certainly have negative consequences.
