Basic listening skills

[lien06116037]

Hi cesaryusuf! I'm from Vietnam and like you, I want to study English. Nice to be a member of English Club from Mexico.

[cesaryusuf]

I am seeking for people who wanna take part in an English club conversation( especially for people who have got English as a foreing or second language) in order to practice and at the same time to improve our English,

feel free to approach me in my channel or leave me a message there, I will reply you as soon as possible. Greetings from Mexico.

I admit he does look tired, but perhaps this improves later in the video. We will never know because tcc.tv is available for purchase as a domain, lol. Seriously, try to view it online :)

I don't even think he is a counsellor

This is not a good demonstration of basic listening skills? The "counselor" is a parrot, and does not show that he even understands what she's saying, but merely hearing what she's saying. If he wants to paraphrase in order to understand, he should ask a question. I would not go to this counselor, but then again, maybe it's just the beginning of the session.

I m fear, She has mustache

and what did Sheamus say?

[sagem28]

I just keep nodding, keep saying "yes" and "u-hu" while staring at her boobs

[stealthvsion]

That is not even good paraphrasing he's almost just parroting back what's been said which makes it seem like he's trying to prove that he's not being lulled to sleep. LOL

There is a big difference between a college and a university. One could easily misinterpret his paraphrase as a downgrade of her intelligence. I know this might sound a little knit-picky but this is how real people with real responses are going to react. Most people are not in therapy because they're thick skinned.

@stealthvsion In some parts of the world college and university are interchangable, just so ya know.

this isn't really listening, but it is paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is ok if you aren't sure what the person has said. Try empathic listening as it develops a real bond of trust and understanding that I believe is missing in this video

It's not the same thing and a sensitive client might be unhappy with this evidence that the counsellor did not HEAR what she actually said.

[MiissCiia]

it's the same thing. college-uni

Listening...haha, he didn't. She claims she attends University...he tells her she is attending College.... He doesn't listen well.
