 Hello and welcome to Rehab at Home with Medell. In this episode, you will meet Samaya and her daughters, Zayna, Zara and Zenit, and learn what you can do to help develop your ability to overhear conversations between others. I think one of my listening goals with my three daughters is to try and understand their conversations, their relationships with friends, with each other, what's going through their mind, and the best way I figured to do that is without them knowing that I'm listening to overhear their conversations. It is a bit challenging, but I'm getting there. Okay girls, will you help me? Let's see if I can hear what time you all need to get to school. Zenit, what time do you have to be at school today? 7.30. What time does Zenit need to be at school today? 7.30. Is that correct? Yeah. Okay, now let's make it a bit more difficult. Zenit, why do you have to be at school at 7.30 today? Well, today I have to go to my teacher's class from early to do my math tutoring. Why does Zenit need to be at school today? She needs to meet her math teacher for some math tutoring. Did I get it right? Yeah, no. Overhearing the conversations of others is not something people talk much about, but it is an important skill. Overhearing her daughters contributes to helping Samaya manage her family smoothly. Through overhearing conversation, we learn about how other people are feeling and understand why they behave in particular ways. Samaya showed us how to practice with a simple topic you are familiar with first in a quiet room with the speakers close by and then build up to a greater distance and more complex topics as you get more experience.
