I am a freshman majoring in English. I feel that college English listening is very different from high school. I feel that the speech speed is too fast, and there are too many places where the sound is stored to understand.
In oral conversation, it is not difficult to say that it is active. As long as you have a basic grammar and oral materials, it is not difficult to do it. But listening is passive and difficult. You can't improve without starting with pronunciation. China students' listening comprehension is poor because there are a lot of linking and skimming in English. For example, God is a girl, and when she sings, she will pronounce it as' go'di'sa'girl (it's not easy to phonetic here). Can you still recognize God as a girl? If you listen to words instead of sentences, you will be at a loss. This is a listening problem for most people, and it is also the hope. Children who don't study can listen and speak their own language through imitation. Learning to sing English songs is the best imitation. According to the rules of English continuous reading and skimming, the author of "Watching Desperate Housewives Learn Authentic Spoken English" made 96 classic English songs into "English Song Singing Rules" by "phonetic notation" for each English song word. Perfectly dissect the actual pronunciation of English singers, so that learners can see at a glance, just like learning. English singers are your best foreign teachers in the process of learning English songs. Because the process is pleasant, repeated imitation will be pleasant. Unconsciously, you can not only learn to sing English songs, but also master the rules of linking and skimming in English and learn authentic English expression. Listening and speaking will improve quickly. And I remember it very well. The author has opened a shop in Taobao. This shop is called "Godfather of English Songs". The baby's name is "English Song Singing Password". There you can download samples for free, watch sample screenshots and listen to voice explanations.
