Listening to Steve, I realized that listening comprehension isn’t just a technical skill—it’s deeply connected to personal experience.

When he talked about buying a train ticket in Russia and the moment with the gardener saying “pow” instead of “pago,” I understood that just knowing words isn’t enough.

You need to go through real-life situations, so we can learn to connect sounds and meanings naturally.

Real-life matters: Listening improves when you’re exposed to authentic situations, not just classroom practice.

Let go of perfection: You don’t need to understand every word—just focus on meaning and keep participating.

Ask simple questions: Like “Who’s talking?” or “What’s happening?” to guide your comprehension.

Mix it up: Listening to different accents and formats makes your ears more adaptable.

Every moment counts: Each attempt helps your brain connect sounds with meaning—progress comes with practice.

Listening is a skill built through action, not perfection. By immersing yourself in real moments, embracing uncertainty, and practicing consistently, you’ve transformed how you learn. Every experience becomes a building block—and with each step, your comprehension and confidence grow. Keep going, because progress is already happening.
