Listen to the podcast and see how much you can understand. Is it 50%? 70%? The percentage doesn’t matter. Just make a note of it. 2. Try to summarize the conversation. You can think about it, say it out loud, or write it down.3. Read the transcript. Do you understand more now that you can read the words? How accurate was your summary? 4. Listen and follow the transcript, so you can hear the difference between how English is pronounced vs. how it is written5. Note any words or expressions that you did not understand. Add these to your vocabulary list in your English notebook and make flashcards so that you can study them and grow your vocabulary. 6. Write down any questions you have about the new words or expressions so that you can ask about them during FFCC. 7. Go back and listen again. How much do you understand now? 8. Repeat this process as much as you’d like. 9. Feel free to use this as a topic of conversation with your discussion partner! Faster Fluency Conversation Club Podcast: Work horror storiesWelcome to the Faster Fluency Conversation Club podcast by Business English with Christina.
