Improve your English listening and speaking with The Three Listen Rule.

Improve your English listening and speaking with The Three Listen Rule.

In this English Unleashed episode, Tom teaches you a simple and powerful way to practise listening in English. Many English learners listen to one podcast, one video, or one dialogue only once. Then they move to the next lesson. But if you listen only one time, your brain has too much work to do. You are trying to understand the words, the meaning, the grammar, the pronunciation, and the speaker’s speed all at the same time.

That is why The Three Listen Rule can help you.

In this lesson, you will learn how to listen to the same short English audio three times, but with a different purpose each time.

The first listen is for the big idea.

The second listen is for useful language.

The third listen is for speaking practice.

This method helps you stop worrying about every single word. Instead, you learn how to understand the main message, notice useful English phrases, and then use those phrases in your own speaking.

This podcast is made for A2 English learners and lower intermediate learners who want to improve their listening, speaking, pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency in a simple and natural way. Tom speaks clearly and smoothly, so you can follow the ideas without feeling stressed.

You will also hear simple examples of useful sentence patterns, such as:

I was going to call you, but I forgot.
