I don't know how to improve my english listening level. all of my english teachers tell me :listening english as much as you can.but I suspect now. for example: I listened a englsh short conversation. but I can't understand content of the conversation. I listened 3 times.no changes. If I listened 10 times. can I understand???? I am confusing now. appreciate your response

As for me , i have serveral ideas to share with you . First, listening english programme when you do some cleaning or something not big deal . Take some time to listening some program in this channel you are interested in . But don't attempt to listen every word very clearly . This will help you improve your english listening ability agradually . If you have have taken years to learn english before ,two months after ,you will get the effects. Watching original version film is also a good way . But you can not rely on the script too much . You can spend some times to watch the film. I tried many times before without looking the script . I found i can listen what the actors saying more and more clearly . Try it if you agree with me . Then to listen and read over and digest some beautiful meaningful articles. Step by step , you will get much experiences and find out the most useful way for you to improve what you want to improve . What do you think ? Friend

Every film would be ok as long as the dubbers has a pure and clear American or British english accent. Don't listen to the indian or not very standard ones ,that will make you very tired. In one word,don't take learning english as a heavy load ,take the things interest you to listen to read to digest , this will make you happy to do it and improve gradually. If you found the film very suitable to you to memory ,you can watch it several times , two times without script ,more with the script ,then without it some times . I think you will digest it totally ,and try to listen more again without script ,don't rely on it ,you will surprise yourself .^^

Ok, i will give you a small advise. You can watch films with subtitles. That way, you can read what the people are talking and get used to the accent. It it extremely useful and worked for me too. Good luck with your learning.

yes,I saw the movie.honestly I like seeing movie. few days ago,I saw "seven years in tibet",although I don't like this movie. and I saw "legend of the fall".I like this one.brad pitt is so handsome. but it is difficult to me to download the movie without subtitle. so I want to download its script but failed.
