Learn from podcast

How do you learn English from podcasts?

Simply listening to podcasts will not really improve your English. At least, not very fast.

Here are some ways you can change your learning from Passive to Active so you learn faster.
1. Listen to 1 podcast a week (at least)
2. First, listen to the podcast as you normally do. When driving or walking or cooking (don’t look at the transcript)
3. Use the podcast like a dictation, try writing out what you hear. At least part of the podcast. You can pause and rewind :)
4. If there is a transcript (I recommend you find podcasts with transcripts) read the transcript to yourself while listening
5. Make a list of words you don’t know from the podcast, and review them weekly
6. Shadow or mimic the podcast as they are speaking. If you need to slow down the podcast while you are doing this, you can change the the speed on most podcasting apps.
7. For advanced active learning, write a summary of the podcast!

Good luck!
