Understanding fast-spoken English can be challenging, but with consistent practice and the right techniques, you can improve significantly. Here are some strategies to help you:
Expose yourself to English every day through podcasts, movies, YouTube videos, or songs. Choose materials with native speakers. Start with slower-paced content and gradually move to faster speech.
Platforms like TED Talks or BBC Learning English often provide transcripts, which can help you check your understanding.
Don’t just listen passively. Focus on the speaker's key words or phrases. Even if you miss small details, understanding the main idea will help you keep up.
Try to summarize what you hear to confirm understanding.
Repeat what you hear immediately, trying to match the speed, rhythm, and tone of native speakers. This trains your ears to process English faster and improves pronunciation.
6. Train with Audiobooks
Use audiobooks with corresponding written text. Start at a slower playback speed and increase gradually as you adapt.
Listen to a variety of English accents (American, British, Australian, etc.) to train your ear for flexibility.
10. Engage in Real Conversations
Practice with native speakers through language exchange apps like HelloTalk or iTalki. The more you interact, the easier it gets to follow natural speech.
Life has always been our greatest teacher, but with LLMs as partners, we can engage with its lessons more deeply, dynamically, and personally than ever before.
The opportunity is extraordinary, the tools are available, and the responsibility lies with us. After all, as learners and as humans, we are—and always have been—our own best teachers.

大部分都是podcast
+極惡老大
+3Vees 入坑 (主要是小沃)
這回是早上聽的
主要是來聽老師好聽的英音的lol
或是查想背的單字的已知同義字/反義詞（我覺得拼寫相似的字也很好用
做單字排序，比如發音類似的就放一起（我自己喜歡把一句話或劇情拆解成好幾個我想背的單字，在複習時就能比較方便記憶和理解
有研究發現，人們在閱讀時，使用到的肌肉和說話時的是一樣的
雖然可以先聽一遍唸法，然後照著念一遍做練習，但是到後來，也可以這裡聽聽、那裡讀讀，而不用刻意反覆，因為這些到處累積起來的，也將成為你語言能力的一部分
在暴食環的派對上（女王蜂有唱歌，她是狐狸和蜜蜂的結合，其實人很好！就是很外向但很有同理心的善良環主），老大也是在醉了之後到處找樂子（據女王蜂別西卜向露娜說的，老大嘴裡一次有4根舌頭😂😂就是在傷害和放縱自己了。所以別西卜也說了，她能聞出派對上的每個人的“氣味”，大概是心情狀態之類的？而老大處於很不好不健康的狀態（“今天不要丹尼爾”那段老大趕人的動作有點可愛+趴在人家身上還吐舌頭也是雖然有點虐到了但可愛。。感謝露娜暴力相助把老爸扛回車上）
Expose yourself to English every day through podcasts, movies, YouTube videos, or songs. Choose materials with native speakers. Start with slower-paced content and gradually move to faster speech.
Platforms like TED Talks or BBC Learning English often provide transcripts, which can help you check your understanding.
Native speakers often link words together, reduce sounds, or skip certain syllables. For example:
"What are you doing?" sounds like "Whatcha doin'?"
"Going to" becomes "gonna".
Learn common reductions and contractions to predict and catch these.
Don’t just listen passively. Focus on the speaker's key words or phrases. Even if you miss small details, understanding the main idea will help you keep up.
Try to summarize what you hear to confirm understanding.
Watch videos or movies with English subtitles. Gradually turn them off as you get more comfortable.
Read along with transcripts while listening, then listen again without them to test yourself.
Repeat what you hear immediately, trying to match the speed, rhythm, and tone of native speakers. This trains your ears to process English faster and improves pronunciation.
6. Train with Audiobooks
Use audiobooks with corresponding written text. Start at a slower playback speed and increase gradually as you adapt.
Native speakers use many idiomatic expressions and phrases. If you recognize these, you can process their speech faster.
8. Improve Your Vocabulary
The more words you know, the faster you can understand conversations without stopping to think.
Listen to a variety of English accents (American, British, Australian, etc.) to train your ear for flexibility.
10. Engage in Real Conversations
Practice with native speakers through language exchange apps like HelloTalk or iTalki. The more you interact, the easier it gets to follow natural speech.
Focus on the context rather than understanding every single word. Native speakers rely heavily on tone, pauses, and body language for meaning.
Tools like YouTube's playback speed adjustment, language apps (like Duolingo or ELSA Speak), or speech recognition tools can support your learning.
With daily practice and patience, your brain will adjust to the rhythm and pace of native speech!
但是鯊魚先跑到摩西房間撩他，撩失敗就跑去找米莉，最後還跑去敲老大房門真的大草（甚至自帶BGM）
24:52 很棒的方法回顧和總結
但是老大卻覺得自己是被拋棄了（表情變化真的很好，還有不安的尾巴搖來搖去，說自己還能做得更好、什麼都願意做）
推薦寫在本子裡然後“實際運用在對話中”，實際用上了才更容易記住
11:15 幻覺和之前s1e6的吐真劑有得比（甚至更可怕
最喜歡這3首!
透過它們協助多方思考，但還是得自己適時的關掉它們，保持距離並試著自己對事情做出總結，要有自己的觀點和想法，而不是一昧接收LLMs的回答，也不要因為它們的回答偏向肯定，就不斷加深自己某些固化思想或偏見。
作者的意思大概就是、這確實是絕無僅有的機會，我們可以透過這麼便利的工具來自學，可以更深入，身歷其境而且以更貼近個人化的方式，來學習生活帶來的課題。而且就像蘇格拉底以對話來教導他的學生，LLMs和人類之間的對話也有這樣的效果。可以引人深思以及自省、激發不同想法與觀點，試著以自己從未想過的角度思考。
重點不是在於LLMs會不會“教我們”，而是、我們一直都會是自己最好的老師
（以前可以透過教科書、老師來學習，現在則是更為便利，人人都有自學的機會，想學什麼也是個人自由選擇）
