When it comes to language learning listening to authentic content from native speakers can't be overemphasised enough! It's extremely important to get some content in through listening and this could be particularly difficult for beginners but what if there was finally a 'magic formula'? In this episode, I talked about to build the habit of active listening as a beginner and how powerful it could be in the long run! This episode was inspired by Olly Richard's podcast the I Will Teach You A Language Podcast, Link below:  https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9pd2lsbHRlYWNoeW91YWxhbmd1YWdlLmxpYnN5bi5jb20vcnNz&episode=YmM1MDUzYWZhNWZhMzNhMGEzYzg5ZDkwMGFjYzg4ZGU  My Instagram: @realfrench_ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/linguopodcasts/message
