If you are learning a foreign language, then you really have to practice your listening skills. Here are some of the reasons why the tutors at JustLearn.com place a huge focus on listening.

Conversation purposes

Obviously, face-to-face communication is one of the main reasons why many of us learn a foreign language. Listening is, of course, going to be a major part of that.

If you do not know how to listen in a foreign language, then you are never going to behold down a proper conversation outside of typing to somebody.

Learn accents

One of our favorite things about learning a foreign language is the fact that it will allow you to learn the various accents in a country which, of course, is going to be highly important if you want to have a solid understanding of the way in which the language works, and even the culture of a country.

Learn new vocabulary

Improving your listening skills will allow you to learn some brand new vocabulary. There are things that are said in typical conversations that you would never find written down in a book. Remember, language evolves all the time and some of that stuff is only going to come up in speech. Remember, even accents can change up the way in which certain things are said.

Trust us, if you pick up listening skills, then you will see a huge improvement in your ability as a language learner.

Remember, one of the really cool things about listening to people is that you will really be able to learn the way in which certain words are pronounced by people. You will never be able to learn pronunciation from a book, but you will be able to learn pronunciation by listening to people. Again, the accents will come into play here, because you will find that people pronounce words in different ways depending on where they are from.

Ability to enjoy the language in other ways

Once you have started to learn new listening skills, then you will really be opening up new ways in which you are going to be able to enjoy the language. For example, listening will allow you to enjoy the following:

  • eBooks
  • Radio Shows
  • Podcasts
  • Songs
  • Television
  • Movies

This will allow you to improve your listening and language skills even further. As we said, listening really does unlock your potential to learn a language, and you really should be spending a huge amount of time on it.

Conclusion

There you have it. Now you know why listening skills are so important when you are learning a foreign language. We suggest that you talk to your Justlearn tutor about this. They will already be working on listening skills with you. However, Just Learn tutors will be able to provide you with even more resources if you want to take your learning to the next level.

Remember, you should be splitting your time between reading, writing, speaking, and listening in order to ensure that you become a well-rounded learner.
