I am sorry to say i cant hear what they are saying and it confuse me a lot.

@TheEzekiel1968 That's not a problem, Ezekiel - it is very normal: in the beginning, all students perceive general conversation as an "indistinct" mass of sound - they cannot distinguish the words, and the flow of the conversation seems to them impossibly fast to keep up with - and the first normal reaction is to panic. Just relax, hear the video again and again, and just try to "fish" the words you know at first - one here, another there. This is the trick to develop superior listening skills

@monicamonni

Hi at first I would thank your site which is helpfull , I'm french , and learning english is my biggest goal and also my passion , speaking and finding the words I need to make some sentences are more easy than understanding a conversation beetween native's english speakers. is it normal ? help me please , I would be gratefull for helping me . Bye !

[monicamonni]

@lesgrisout Happy you like it et bienvenu mon ami(e) :D

[monicamonni]

@lesgrisout And yes, it is normal - the last challenge ESL students overcome is listening to native English speakers talking fast, on the phone or with heavy regional accent lol. The best thing you can do to speed your listening skills is to listen to music and sing along - starting from slow songs till you can sing fast rock. Another efficient way is to watch your favourite videos first with captions in French, then second time with captions in English, and then last time with no captions.

Hello. I am from Afghanistan. But I am not the Taliban

[monicamonni]

@omerfarook nice to meet you Omer Farook - I have many virtual contacts in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Middle East and I know that most of you are just decent peaceful normal folks, nothing like the Taliban lol

@cris1166 Yes, it is.

[TheEzekiel1968]

I am sorry to say i cant hear what they are saying and it confuses me a lot.

[monicamonni]

@cris1166 Depends on the sentence, Cris :) EX: YOU AND I are I are friends (WE are friends = You and I here are the Subject of the sentence, so you use Subjective Pronouns - I, You, He, She, It, We, You, They). BUT: This house belongs to YOU AND ME (This house belongs to US = you and me here are the Object of the sentence, so you use Objective Pronouns - me, you, him, her, it, us, you them)
