You Listen Every Day, But Still Don’t Understand?
Alex: Hi everyone, welcome back to Effortless English Podcasts.
Alex: I'm Alex.
Luna: And I'm Luna.
Alex: Today’s topic is something a lot of people struggle with, and honestly, it drives them nuts.
Alex: We're talking about this: Why does my English listening stay the same, even when I practice every day?
Luna: Yep, that one hits hard.
Luna: So many of my friends say, "I listen to English every day, but I still can't understand movies, or news, or even YouTubers!"
Alex: Right, and it’s not just beginners.
Alex: Even people who’ve studied English for years feel stuck with their listening skills.
Luna: Like they’re walking on a treadmill—moving a lot, but staying in the same place.
Alex: Exactly!
Alex: You spend time, you put in the effort, and then… nothing.
Luna: And after a while, you just feel tired.
Luna: Some people even start to think, “Maybe I’m just bad at languages.”
Alex: But that’s not true.
Alex: In most cases, it’s not about talent—it’s about strategy.
Luna: Mmmhmm, I like where this is going.
Luna: Because I hate wasting time.
Alex: That makes two of us.
Alex: So I did some digging—research, data, personal stories—and I found some super interesting things about how listening actually works in your brain.
Luna: Of course you did.
Luna: Mr. Engineer has entered the chat.
Alex: Hey, I like knowing how things work.
Alex: But I also wanted to find ways that are not just effective, but fast.
Alex: Because I’m lazy.
Luna: I’d say efficient.
Alex: Let’s go with that.
Alex: Efficient.
Luna: So in today’s episode, we’re going to look at why your listening might not be improving.
Luna: We’ll talk about common mistakes, smart methods, and real things you can do to get better—step by step.
Alex: No crazy tricks, no magic pills.
Alex: Just solid strategies that work.
Luna: And don’t worry—we’re not gonna turn this into a boring lecture.
Luna: We’ll keep it real, like always.
Alex: Yep, real talk, real results.
Alex: But before we jump in, quick reminder:
Alex: You can find the full transcript of this episode in the video description.
Luna: So if you miss something, or want to read along, it’s all there.
Alex: We also have multi-language subtitles available.
Luna: Just click that “CC” button, and choose your language.
Alex: And if you’re new here—
Luna: Or if you keep forgetting—
Alex: Please hit that subscribe button.
Luna: We drop new episodes regularly, and you don’t want to miss them.
Alex: Alright, ready to find out why your listening isn't working—and how to fix it?
Luna: Let’s go!
Alex: So let’s talk about what a lot of people actually experience when they try to improve their English listening.
Alex: First, they do what sounds logical—they start listening to English every day.
Luna: That’s what I did too.
Luna: Like, I’d play podcasts while brushing my teeth, or listen to English songs on the way to work.
Alex: Same here.
Alex: I even tried leaving English shows running in the background while doing laundry.
Alex: But here’s the problem—after weeks or even months, you realize something strange.
Luna: You still don’t understand what they’re saying!
Alex: Exactly.
Alex: You’re hearing the sounds, but your brain is not catching the meaning.
Luna: It’s like when someone talks super fast and all you hear is “blablabla,” and you’re just nodding like you understand.
Alex: Or worse, you keep replaying the same line ten times and still have no idea what it means.
Luna: Been there.
Alex: This happens because listening passively doesn’t always help you learn.
Alex: Your brain needs something more active to make connections.
Luna: It’s like trying to get strong by watching workout videos instead of actually exercising.
Alex: Great example.
Alex: Just hearing English doesn’t mean you're learning English.
Luna: And then comes frustration.
Luna: You’re putting in time, but you don’t feel smarter.
Luna: You’re not understanding more.
Alex: There’s no sign of progress.
Alex: And that leads to the second problem—people feel like they’re wasting their time.
Luna: Yeah, they think, “I spent an hour listening today, but I still can’t understand this simple news clip!”
Alex: It’s disheartening.
Alex: Especially when other people seem to improve faster.
Luna: Like your friend who watches English dramas and suddenly talks like a native speaker.
Alex: Spoiler alert: They’re probably doing more than just watching.
Alex: But when you don’t know that, it feels like you’re doing something wrong.
Luna: Which leads to problem three—mental fatigue.
Luna: Listening to a language you don’t fully understand is exhausting.
Alex: Yep.
Alex: Your brain is trying to guess meanings, recognize words, and follow the context—all at the same time.
Luna: And if the content is too hard, your brain gives up and says, “Nope. Time for a nap.”
Alex: I’ve literally fallen asleep during English TED Talks.
Luna: You? Mr. Efficiency?
Alex: Hey, I’m not immune to boring or confusing content.
Luna: That’s fair.
Alex: And when you feel tired every time you practice listening, you start avoiding it.
Luna: Which brings us to the last big issue—zero motivation.
Alex: When you don’t see results, and you feel tired, it’s easy to give up.
Luna: You think, “Why am I doing this? It’s not helping.”
Alex: And then you stop.
Alex: Or worse, you keep doing the same thing every day, hoping it’ll magically start working.
Luna: That’s called the “wishful thinking” strategy.
Alex: Also known as “how I approached gym training for two years.”
Luna: Ha!
Alex: But seriously, language learning doesn’t work like magic.
Alex: If something isn’t working, it’s time to try a different way.
Luna: So if any of this sounds familiar—
Alex: Listening every day but not improving,
Luna: Feeling like it’s too hard or too boring,
Alex: Getting tired or frustrated,
Luna: Or thinking about quitting—
Alex: Don’t worry.
Alex: You’re not alone.
Luna: We’ve all been there.
Alex: And the good news is, there are better ways to practice.
Luna: Ways that actually help you hear more, understand more, and feel proud of your progress.
Alex: And that’s what we’re diving into next.
Alex: Alright, now that we know the struggle is real, let’s break down why listening doesn’t seem to improve—no matter how much you do it.
Alex: First big reason?
Alex: You’re listening to the wrong kind of content.
Luna: Yep.
Luna: A lot of people choose things that are way too hard—or way too easy.
Alex: If it’s too hard, your brain can’t keep up.
Alex: It’s like trying to solve a puzzle with half the pieces missing.
Luna: Or like watching a cooking show in Italian when you only know “pizza” and “pasta.”
Alex: You hear sounds, but you get no meaning.
Alex: That’s not helpful.
Luna: But if the content is too easy, your brain just relaxes and stops learning.
Alex: Right.
Alex: There’s no challenge, no growth.
Alex: You’re just coasting.
Luna: So what’s the sweet spot?
Alex: You want something where you understand about 70 to 80 percent.
Alex: That way, you can follow the story, but still meet new words and phrases.
Luna: Enough comfort to stay interested, enough challenge to keep learning.
Alex: That brings us to the second reason—passive listening.
Alex: A lot of people think listening means just… hearing.
Luna: Like playing an English podcast while scrolling Instagram.
Alex: Yeah.
Alex: Your ears hear it, but your brain is busy somewhere else.
Luna: Or when you’re “listening” while half asleep on the bus.
Alex: That kind of practice doesn’t stick.
Alex: Active listening is different.
Alex: It means paying attention, trying to catch meaning, repeating parts, even writing things down.
Luna: And checking if you really understood.
Alex: Exactly.
Alex: Which leads us to the third problem—no feedback.
Luna: Oh yes.
Luna: If you never check what you understood, you don’t know what you missed.
Alex: Let’s say you listen to a YouTube video.
Alex: Do you ever pause and ask yourself, “What did they just say?”
Luna: Most people don’t.
Alex: But that step is huge.
Alex: It shows you where your ears are working—and where they’re not.
Luna: Plus, checking the script after listening helps you catch those small, tricky words.
Alex: Like contractions or linking sounds.
Luna: Yeah, like “gonna” instead of “going to.”
Alex: Or “wanna,” “gotta,” and all those fast-talking phrases.
Luna: Without feedback, those just sound like mush.
Alex: Last big reason why people don’t improve?
Alex: Boring practice.
Luna: Oh no, the worst kind.
Luna: If listening feels like punishment, you’re not gonna do it for long.
Alex: True.
Alex: If I’m listening to something I hate, I’m already counting the seconds till it’s over.
Luna: And the brain doesn’t remember what it doesn’t care about.
Alex: Exactly.
Alex: That’s why choosing interesting content matters.
Luna: It has to feel fun, or useful, or connected to your life.
Alex: And it should fit your personality.
Alex: If you love sports, listen to sports shows.
Alex: If you’re into drama, find shows with drama.
Luna: Or if you’re like me, watch a reality show with people arguing in English.
Alex: Classic Luna move.
Alex: But hey, it works.
Luna: It really does.
Luna: So, let’s sum up:
Luna: If your listening isn’t improving, maybe the content is too easy or too hard,
Alex: Maybe you’re not actively listening,
Luna: Maybe you’re not checking your understanding,
Alex: Or maybe the whole process is just too boring.
Luna: All of these things stop progress.
Alex: But don’t worry—we’ve got solutions coming up.
Luna: Ways to make your listening smarter, stronger, and way more fun.
Alex: Alright, we’ve talked about the common mistakes—now let’s get a little personal.
Alex: I want to share what I tried when I was learning English.
Luna: Ooh, story time with Alex.
Alex: Yep.
Alex: So back when I started, I thought I could just watch a bunch of Hollywood movies and magically get fluent.
Alex: Spoiler: It didn’t work.
Luna: Let me guess—you chose action movies with ten explosions per minute?
Alex: Pretty much.
Alex: I thought it would be fun, but I couldn’t understand anything except “Go! Go! Go!”
Luna: Ha!
Alex: Later, I switched to TV shows with more dialogue.
Alex: Sitcoms were better because the scenes were slower and the characters repeated phrases a lot.
Luna: Did you use subtitles?
Alex: At first, I watched with English subtitles.
Alex: That helped.
Alex: Then I rewatched without them and tried to catch everything I remembered.
Luna: Sounds smart.
Luna: I tried something similar, but I started with YouTube.
Luna: I followed beauty vloggers and daily vlog channels.
Alex: Of course you did.
Luna: Don’t judge me.
Luna: But you know what? They spoke in a very natural, everyday way.
Luna: I learned phrases like “I’m gonna grab coffee” or “Let’s get this day started.”
Alex: Yeah, that’s the real-life English no textbook teaches.
Alex: I also tried pausing and repeating what they said, line by line.
Alex: That helped me understand fast speech better.
Luna: Same!
Luna: But I had one big problem.
Luna: When people spoke too fast or mumbled, I just blanked out.
Luna: It felt like my brain stopped working.
Alex: I know that feeling.
Alex: That’s when I started using transcripts.
Alex: I’d listen first, then read the script to see what I missed.
Luna: That’s actually genius.
Luna: I used to just rewind again and again.
Alex: Been there too.
Alex: But rewinding ten times without checking the script is like trying to unlock a door with the wrong key over and over.
Luna: You know what else helped me?
Luna: Talking to myself.
Luna: After watching a video, I’d try to repeat what they said, or say it in my own words.
Alex: That’s great for building memory.
Luna: Or I’d explain it to my cat.
Alex: Of course you would.
Luna: Hey, my cat speaks perfect Luna-English now.
Alex: But seriously, we both made a lot of mistakes before we found what worked.
Luna: Totally.
Luna: And I think that’s the key—try different things, and stick with what helps you.
Alex: What works for one person might not work for another.
Luna: But the main idea is, don’t just listen—engage with the content.
Alex: And be okay with failing a few times.
Alex: That’s part of the process.
Alex: So now let’s get into the good stuff—how to actually improve your English listening in the smartest way.
Alex: Let’s start with a combo that works really well: focused listening and background listening.
Luna: You mean like “deep listening” and “lazy listening”?
Alex: Basically, yeah.
Alex: Focused listening—also called “intensive listening”—is when you take a short clip, maybe one or two minutes long, and go deep.
Alex: You listen, pause, repeat, check words, and try to understand every part.
Luna: That sounds like work.
Alex: It is, but it’s powerful.
Alex: You catch grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation all in one shot.
Luna: Okay, so what’s the lazy version?
Alex: That’s “extensive listening.”
Alex: You play podcasts, shows, or music while cooking, walking, or chilling.
Alex: You’re not focused 100%, but your brain still gets used to the rhythm of English.
Luna: Kind of like letting the language sink into your brain.
Alex: Exactly.
Alex: It’s not about catching every word—it’s about getting used to the sound.
Luna: So doing both gives you power and flow.
Alex: Well said.
Luna: Now let’s talk about content choice.
Luna: If you’re not interested in what you’re listening to, you’ll tune out in five minutes.
Alex: That’s why I say—pick content you enjoy, not what you think you should listen to.
Luna: If you love food, watch cooking videos.
Alex: If you love science, find English explainer channels.
Luna: I love watching interviews with celebrities because they speak fast, but real.
Alex: Whatever keeps you engaged is the right choice.
Alex: Because when you care, you pay attention.
Luna: And when you pay attention, you learn.
Alex: Now here’s a trick I used that helped me a lot—use subtitles the smart way.
Luna: You mean start with English subs?
Alex: Yes.
Alex: Watch with English subtitles first, then turn them off and rewatch.
Luna: That’s what I did too!
Luna: It’s like giving your brain a warm-up.
Alex: Some people ask if using their native language subtitles is okay.
Alex: I say, it’s fine at first, but don’t stay there too long.
Luna: Yeah, you want your brain to think in English, not just translate all the time.
Alex: Right.
Alex: Another thing that helps—video.
Alex: Watching something with visuals helps you understand even when the words are hard.
Luna: That’s true.
Luna: You can guess meaning from facial expressions, actions, or background.
Alex: It builds your “language instinct.”
Luna: Plus, video is just more fun.
Alex: Okay, last thing—and this is huge: time and repetition.
Luna: Here we go.
Alex: Don’t try to listen for two hours in one sitting.
Alex: That’s like eating five meals at once.
Luna: You’ll get full… and sleepy.
Alex: It’s better to listen for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, multiple times a day.
Alex: Morning, lunch break, evening—whatever works for your schedule.
Luna: Your brain likes patterns.
Luna: When you train it to listen every day at the same time, it gets faster.
Alex: Repetition matters too.
Alex: Listen to the same clip more than once.
Alex: First for general meaning, second for details, third to mimic pronunciation.
Luna: It’s like getting closer and closer to understanding everything.
Alex: And soon, you don’t need subtitles anymore.
Luna: Then one day, boom—you understand a whole video without pausing.
Alex: Best. Feeling. Ever.
Luna: So to wrap this up:
Luna: Mix deep listening and background listening.
Alex: Choose stuff you enjoy.
Luna: Use subtitles smartly.
Alex: And keep it short, steady, and repeated.
Luna: These methods don’t just work—they make listening something you actually want to do.
Alex: Alright, now let’s get into the action part—real strategies you can start using today to train your listening.
Luna: Step-by-step stuff.
Luna: No theory, just things that actually work.
Alex: First one is super simple, but super powerful: listen to one sentence at a time, and repeat it.
Luna: I love this one.
Luna: You play a short sentence, pause, then try to say it out loud exactly the same way.
Alex: This helps your ear catch the natural rhythm, stress, and sound of English.
Alex: And you start to notice small words that native speakers blur together.
Luna: Like “did you” becomes “didya.”
Alex: Yep, or “what are you” becomes “whatcha.”
Luna: At first it sounds weird, but after a few tries, it feels normal.
Alex: It builds your language instinct.
Alex: The next one is called “shadowing.”
Luna: Ooooh, fancy word.
Alex: It means you listen to a speaker and speak at the same time—like an echo.
Luna: So you don’t pause—you speak with them.
Alex: Exactly.
Alex: It’s like chasing their words in real-time.
Luna: That sounds kind of hard.
Alex: It is at first.
Alex: But it trains your brain to match English speed and pronunciation.
Luna: And it helps with speaking too, right?
Alex: Absolutely.
Alex: You learn how to move your mouth like a native speaker.
Luna: So what should people shadow?
Alex: Choose short audio—maybe a one-minute news clip or a scene from a show.
Alex: Play it five to ten times until your mouth moves like theirs.
Luna: You’ll feel awkward at first, but then it becomes kind of addictive.
Alex: The third one is listening dictation—writing down what you hear.
Luna: Like spelling bee level training.
Alex: Yeah, it sounds boring, but it’s super effective.
Alex: You play a sentence, pause, and write exactly what you hear.
Luna: Then check it against the original script.
Luna: It’s great for catching little mistakes.
Alex: Like missing an “s” or mixing up “their” and “there.”
Luna: And it shows you if you really heard the words, or just guessed.
Alex: Do this once or twice a week and your listening will get sharper fast.
Luna: What if someone has no script?
Alex: Then make your own.
Alex: Listen, pause, write, then re-listen to check.
Alex: You don’t need to be perfect—just try.
Luna: The last one is my favorite—weekly self-checks.
Luna: I call it “English check-in day.”
Alex: That’s actually brilliant.
Alex: So how do you do it?
Luna: Once a week, I pick one video or podcast and listen to it on Monday.
Luna: Then I listen again on Friday and see how much more I understand.
Alex: That’s a cool way to track progress.
Alex: It makes your learning visible.
Luna: Exactly.
Luna: It’s like taking a photo of your skills every week.
Alex: And it helps you stay motivated.
Alex: If you see even a 10% improvement, that’s huge.
Luna: Plus, you can write down new words or expressions each time.
Alex: So let’s recap:
Alex: Repeat one sentence at a time, out loud.
Luna: Try shadowing to train speed and pronunciation.
Alex: Use dictation to improve detail and spelling.
Luna: And give yourself weekly check-ins to track progress.
Alex: These are simple, but not easy.
Alex: They take time and focus.
Luna: But if you do them, your ears will get better—fast.
Alex: And the best part?
Alex: These methods fit into any schedule.
Luna: You don’t need a class or a teacher.
Alex: Just your ears, your voice, and a little time each day.
Luna: That’s what makes them so awesome.
Alex: Now let’s be real for a second—some methods just don’t work.
Alex: Or at least, they don’t work the way people hope they will.
Luna: Time to call out the listening habits that waste time.
Alex: Yep.
Alex: First one? Just playing English audio in the background without paying attention.
Luna: Oh boy.
Luna: I used to do this all the time.
Luna: I’d play an English podcast while scrolling on my phone or washing dishes.
Alex: Same here.
Alex: I told myself, “It’s fine, my brain is picking it up.”
Luna: But surprise—it wasn’t.
Alex: Right.
Alex: Unless you focus, your brain just hears noise.
Luna: Like a song in another language—you might remember the melody, but not the words.
Alex: Background listening has some value, but it can’t be your only method.
Alex: You need active time too.
Luna: Second big problem? Choosing content that’s too hard or too easy.
Luna: If you don’t understand anything, your brain checks out.
Alex: And if you understand everything, your brain gets lazy.
Alex: No challenge means no growth.
Luna: I remember watching a business show once.
Luna: It had tons of technical terms.
Luna: I didn’t understand 90% of it, and I was just sitting there lost.
Alex: Yeah, and I once tried a kids’ show thinking it would help—but I already knew everything they said.
Alex: Total waste of time.
Luna: You’ve got to find that middle zone.
Luna: A bit challenging, but still clear enough to follow.
Alex: Third mistake? No notes, no reflection.
Alex: Some people just listen and move on.
Alex: They never pause to ask, “What did I learn?”
Luna: I used to do that.
Luna: I’d finish a video and then forget everything five minutes later.
Alex: Taking notes—even just three words or one new phrase—can lock it in.
Luna: And if you write a short summary, it helps you think in English.
Alex: It turns listening into thinking.
Luna: Thinking leads to learning.
Alex: Fourth mistake—and this one’s sneaky—is using only one method.
Alex: Like, someone finds a podcast they love and only listens to that one thing every day.
Luna: Or someone only uses subtitles and never tries to listen without them.
Alex: Your brain needs variety.
Alex: Different speakers, different speeds, different accents.
Luna: I remember the first time I heard an Australian accent.
Luna: I was like, “Wait… is this still English?”
Alex: That’s why mixing content is important.
Alex: Music, interviews, news, movies—it all helps.
Luna: And different methods too.
Luna: Some days you do dictation, some days you shadow.
Alex: Keeps your brain active and interested.
Alex: So let’s sum this up:
Alex: Don’t rely only on background listening.
Luna: Don’t pick content that’s way too easy—or way too hard.
Alex: Don’t skip thinking or note-taking.
Luna: And don’t get stuck with just one type of listening.
Alex: These bad habits won’t destroy your English,
Luna: But they will slow you down big time.
Alex: And we’re all about saving time and making real progress.
Luna: So if you’re doing any of these, no shame—just shift your method.
Alex: Small changes can lead to big improvement.
Alex: Alright, we’ve shared strategies, mistakes, and our own stories—
Alex: Now let’s answer some of the questions we hear all the time.
Luna: Time for FAQ—frequently asked questions!
Alex: First one: What should I do when I don’t understand what I hear?
Luna: Ah yes, the classic panic moment.
Alex: Here’s the deal—don’t freak out.
Alex: It’s totally normal not to understand everything, especially at the start.
Luna: Even native speakers sometimes miss things, especially with noise or bad sound.
Alex: When you don’t understand something, pause.
Alex: Replay the part.
Alex: If you still don’t get it, try using subtitles or check a transcript.
Luna: And don’t just move on.
Luna: Ask yourself, “Why didn’t I understand this?”
Luna: Was the word new?
Luna: Was it said too fast?
Alex: That’s how you learn.
Alex: Make a note of that sentence or word, and try to use it later.
Luna: Okay, second question: Should I memorize vocabulary before I start listening?
Alex: Great one.
Alex: The short answer? No.
Luna: Really? Not even a few words?
Alex: Well, some words are helpful, sure.
Alex: But you don’t need to memorize 1000 words before you press play.
Luna: Thank goodness.
Alex: In fact, listening helps you learn new words in context.
Alex: You hear how they’re used in real situations.
Luna: And that’s way better than flashcards.
Alex: Vocabulary and listening go hand in hand.
Alex: Listen first, notice words, then learn.
Luna: Third question: How long should I listen each day to see real improvement?
Alex: Ah, the magic number question.
Alex: Honestly, there’s no perfect answer.
Luna: But we do have a good rule.
Luna: Consistency over time.
Alex: Yep.
Alex: It’s better to do 15 minutes a day than 2 hours once a week.
Luna: That way, your brain builds a habit.
Alex: If you can do 15 to 30 minutes a day, you’ll make great progress.
Alex: If you can do more—awesome.
Luna: But don’t burn yourself out.
Luna: A tired brain learns nothing.
Alex: Fourth question: What if I really don’t like using subtitles?
Luna: Ooh, rebel learner alert.
Alex: Subtitles can be helpful, especially early on.
Alex: But if you hate them, that’s okay.
Luna: You can still use visuals, body language, and guess the meaning.
Alex: Or watch once with subtitles, and again without.
Luna: Mix it up.
Luna: The goal is understanding, not following rules.
Alex: If subtitles distract you, don’t use them all the time.
Luna: But don’t ignore them forever.
Luna: They can really help when something is just too fast.
Alex: Final question—and this one is deep:
Alex: Why can I understand what people say, but I can’t speak back?
Luna: Oh yeah, this one hurts.
Alex: It’s super common.
Alex: Listening and speaking are two different skills.
Alex: Understanding is step one, producing is step two.
Luna: Your brain knows the words, but your mouth hasn’t practiced enough.
Alex: That’s why repeating, shadowing, and speaking out loud is important.
Luna: You need to train your muscles, not just your mind.
Alex: Speaking is like playing piano.
Alex: You can know the notes in your head, but you still have to train your fingers.
Luna: That’s such a good example.
Luna: So don’t worry if you feel stuck.
Alex: Just add speaking practice to your listening routine.
Luna: Even just talking to yourself, or copying sentences, helps a lot.
Alex: Bottom line?
Alex: Don’t let these questions stop you.
Luna: They’re totally normal, and every learner faces them.
Alex: The important thing is to keep going—step by step.
Luna: One video, one sentence, one word at a time.
Alex: That’s how progress happens.
Alex: Alright, that’s a wrap for today’s episode.
Alex: Let’s quickly go over the key points we talked about.
Luna: First, if your listening isn’t improving, it’s not your fault.
Luna: You just might need to change your approach.
Alex: Second, don’t fall into the trap of passive listening only.
Alex: Be active, be curious, and make the effort to understand what you hear.
Luna: Third, choose content that’s interesting and just right for your level.
Luna: Not too hard, not too easy.
Alex: Fourth, use strategies like sentence repetition, shadowing, dictation, and weekly reviews.
Alex: These methods really work.
Luna: And fifth, avoid common bad habits like zoning out, using just one type of practice, or skipping notes.
Alex: And finally, remember—questions and struggles are normal.
Alex: Keep learning and stay consistent.
Luna: We hope these tips help you feel more confident with your English listening.
