It's difficulty for me to listen english!

It's rather hard to follow phrase. When the native speaker is speaking.

 I think that difficult for me to practise because I have no chance to speak with foreigner. And the important thing is some phrase or some vocabulary is blank from my knowledge.

Help me pleaseeee! Could U share your experience and advice some trick for me

Thanks a lot All friends!

If you want you may try this: http://www.voanews.com/specialenglish/programs.cfm

It's news, but in this programme (it's called 'special english') they are read purpously for people who is learning the language. So they read them quite slowly and don't use any complicated slang and colloquial expressions!

I've been listening to about 2 reports every day for 2 weeks and I've already spotted the result! Now it's easier to me to understand English speech and it really enlarges your vocabulary!

And when it becomes simple to you to listen to this special news, you may move to BBC site. There in 'Learning English' you may listen to the news which are read fast and contain more complicated expressions!

Good luck! Tongue out
