Active listening, how? 

Relaxed, but active ..
If possible, listen outside in the fresh air when you are walking, active and effective! Also try to use the words after listening. You need to repeat a word like 5 times to make sure it sticks in your head. With our conversation classes you bring bring the new words straight into practise.  

How do I listen to do the podcast? 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

           
                               
                               
1. Listen to the podcast in a relaxed way. It really doesn't matter if you don't know all the words.

2. Shadowing, repeat the Dutch words by saying them out loud. After the first part you will hear the translation of the difficult Dutch words. Check that you understand all the key vocabulary.
 
3. Then Repeat what you hear in a loud, articulate manner. If you repeat the words while standing or even walking swiftly outside, literally more oxygen enters your brain and you learn the language faster!

4. Listen again, after the translation you will hear the same story again. 

5. Use the words
Tip: Write down 5-10 new words for every new podcast you listen to, and try to use them in context at least once that day. 

6. Pro tip: record your own voice while shadowing (and listen back to it..). This is really good for your Dutch pronunciation.
