Secret to Learn Spoken English


Good Day!

Well, we always say that we don’t understand native speakers, they are too fast and so on… and I can't understand it.' What a shame! When it's too fast for you, when you can't understand it that is exactly when you NEED to listen to it!!!


If you really serious about learning improving your English language always remember that you are like a new baby

When you were a baby, did you understand what was your mamma talking about in your own language? When you were one year old year, did you understand everything? Of course not! But you learned to understand by listening your mamma ya? Remember that, we learned to understand our own language by listening, weeks, months, and years After that, we learned to speak our own language Think about that age…

We are like that baby… if you trust on me don’t worry, if you don’t understand keep listening…day after day you will come to know what it is exactly.


  • Babies learn their language slowly.
  • First they learn to listen.
  • Then they learn to talk.
  • Finally, they can read and write.

Good Luck with English
