9. Listening time
In topic 7, I originally planned to practice speaking English and then I realized that for new learners of English, they would be very shy to think of the subjects and say it, so imitate the native speaker is a good idea. So we can combine both listening and speaking skills at the same time. Imitating them then record your sound and compare them until your sound is very similar to the person who created the video.
To be able to say correctly the liaison and intonation, I have practiced very hard. I listened again and again, and then I marked the words emphasized. After that, I divided the paragraph and said correctly that part until I didn't need to look at them again. For me, practice speaking English we don't need to complete the whole paragraph at the same time, but practice listening to English is different. Listen as much as possible. I want to create an English environment around me. So listening just one video mentioned above all day will be a little bit boring. Over the world, there are many people speak English with different accents and I want to understand them.
