Does this sound familiar?
You know the word when you see it…
But when native speakers say it, you miss it completely.
Why?
Because real English is fast, connected, and often nothing like your textbook recordings.
This workshop will help you finally understand real spoken English—and give you tools to improve your listening, no matter your level.
✅ Why you miss words (and what to do about it)
✅ How to scale up with short, familiar content
✅ How to choose level-appropriate materials
✅ 5 essential listening strategies:
Skimming for key information
Intensive listening (for tests)
Extensive listening (for fluency)
Shadowing
Subtitles: how (and when) to use them
✅ Real-life techniques: summarising, note-taking, and using series vs movies
This is not just theory—you’ll do live listening exercises to explore your own challenges and build your personal improvement plan.
You’ll leave with:
A clearer understanding of why you struggle
A strategy that fits your current level
The tools to improve listening in daily life—not just in the classroom

"Listening skills are what set good English speakers apart from great English speakers.
In fact, with great listening skills, most people don't care about mistakes in your speech.
However, listening is also the hardest part to improve if you're not in an English-speaking country - and it really makes you feel like you can't communicate in English.
That's our mission for this workshop! To give you a practical, manageable way to improve your listening, and in a way that makes you feel the difference."
