The Adept English listen & learn system of learning is based upon lots and lots of listening to native English speakers. Today’s English lesson is just a simple English conversation practice lesson, where we talk about something interesting and all you need to do is listen to the lesson, (sounds easy doesn't it!) but the catch is you need to listen repeatedly to get the most out of this lesson.

Now you could just listen to the lesson in a loop, but if you are like me, then this would just be boring, I might listen twice in a row, but soon enough I would just get bored and stop listening. Or with a small amount of planning, by which I mean setting up a playlist on whichever device you use to listen to us, you could set up it up so maybe some music plays next, then a different English lesson and then this one appears again.

We talk about a learning concept called spaced repetition in our FREE English language course, it’s a way of spacing out your repeat listening (or any learning) so you help your brain recognise the content as important and store it in your longer term memory.

Just one last point, when we say listening, we mean making sense of the words and phrases you hear, you can listen to things, like music, where you are not really paying attention and you let the sounds wash over you. We need you to pay attention to what you are listening to, it’s one reason we make our lessons around 10 minutes long, as most people can focus carefully for this length of time.
