| Becky: Listeners, how much of your target language can you truly understand when you listen? |
| Peter: Most beginners can only pick out a few words. But did you know that you can improve on this and understand everything you hear? |
| Becky: Welcome to an Innovative Language Learning Sunday News! I'm Becky and I'll be hosting today's Sunday News with my co-host, the founder of Innovative Language... Peter Galante! |
| Peter: Hi everyone! Peter here. |
| Becky: In today’s Sunday News, we’re talking about the 3 tactics that are guaranteed to sharpen your listening skills... |
| Peter: ...and allow you to understand more of the language. |
| Body |
| Peter: Welcome back to Sunday News, Listeners... |
| Becky: ...and here’s a question especially for those beginners out there. |
| Peter: How much can you truly understand when you listen to your target language? |
| Becky: Most beginner learners can only pick out a few words.... |
| Peter: ...and everything else just goes in one ear and out the other. |
| Becky: Peter, I can definitely relate to this. With Japanese, I don’t really “listen,” I tend to look for words I already know. |
| Peter: Becky, A lot of learners actually do that. But what happens is that you’re not understanding the language 100%. |
| Becky: So, how do you improve your listening and comprehension skills? |
| Peter: You’ll find out in a second. But before you do, listen up! We have new features and a quick discount to talk about. |

| Becky: Alright. So Peter, how do you improve your listening and comprehension skills? |
| Peter: Well, this is definitely a trouble spot for a lot of beginners Becky. |
| Becky: That’s why we’re talking about 3 tactics that will sharpen your listening skills. |
| Peter: Let’s get into the first one. There’s actually a whole video lesson series... |
| Becky: ...that’s designed purely to test and improve your listening skills. |
| Peter: It’s called the Listening Comprehension series. |
| Becky: You can find it in the Bonus Video Lessons section of the site. |
| Peter: In the lesson, you’ll hear a dialogue in your target language, and based on that dialogue... |
| Becky:...You’ll be asked to answer a question to check if you understood. |
| Peter: There are no translations here except for the subtitles. |
| Becky: So everything you hear is in your target language. |
| Peter: This is a great way to test your listening skills. Read along with the subtitles to understand everything. |
| Becky: And you can play it again and again, until you actually understand everything. |
| Peter: That’s the second tactic. Listeners, you should be reviewing lesson dialogues again and again. |
| Becky: Most learners listen to a lesson and move on. But by reviewing it again... |
| Peter: ...You make sure that you fully understand what you hear. |
| Becky: The key to understanding every. single. word. is to review again and again. |
| Peter: With audio lessons, you get the dialogue track so you can listen to JUST the conversation again and again. |
| Becky: You can do this with the Line by Line Audio too. |
| Peter: The third tactic is to read along. If you’re not understanding the words you hear... |
| Becky: ...Reading along is the best way to get the meaning instantly. |
| Peter: Read along with the Line-by-Line feature, or the PDF lesson notes. |
| Becky: You can read it in the target language, the transliterated version, or the translated version. |
| Peter: You can do this for any lesson on the site with these awesome tools. |
| Becky: So remember, try out the Listening Comprehension Video Series... |
| Peter: ...Review by listening again and again... |
| Becky: ...And read along so you never miss a word. |
| Peter: And listeners, if you want complete access to our entire learning system.... |
| Becky: Which is all of our best lessons, study tools, exclusive apps, and features like the Line by Line and Lesson Notes... |
| Peter: Take advantage of a quick 30% OFF Premium by March 6th, 2015. |
