Are you a Spanish student and want to improve your listening comprehension?
Do You love fashion?
Well, you will like this interview, today I interview Carmen Pérez, youtuber and fashion and wellness blogger.
What is the dynamics of listening comprehension? How listening skills work?
Before starting the exercise, I am going to give you some tips so that you can take good advantage of this opportunity to improve your listening comprehension.
These exercises are based on the idea that you meet people who are dedicated to different topics and in this case, develop their activity on social networks. If you are interested in the topic, you can follow it and practice listening comprehension, even learn vocabulary with an interesting topic for you. In this case, fashion and personal care.
Now I explain how you can work the interview.
This practice will consist of a video where I will interview a person and I will propose a series of questions that you will have to answer. I will also add some specific vocabulary exercises to help you better understand the conversation and expressions that appear in it.
I propose this way of working:
- Check the vocabulary glossary
- Read the questions carefully
- First listening to the audio / video, the first listening can be to get a general idea of the topics we are going to discuss
- Second listening to the audio / video, here you can try to answer the general questions I ask you. You can even try to answer the questions that ask for some details
- If necessary you can do a third listening.
Don’t worry if you have trouble understanding everything, it is not necessary. Try to understand the main ideas and if you need more auditions to answer the questions do so without feeling guilty.
They are exercises to improve understanding, you will achieve it consistently.
Practice Spanish with topics that interest you
