Active Listening Techniques

Sharpening Your Ears

Active listening means focusing on what you hear, not just letting the language wash over you.

Strategies to Improve Listening

  • Listen for key words and context clues.
  • Take notes during audio or video segments.
  • Rewind and replay difficult sections.

Why It Works

Active listening helps you understand accents, slang, and fast speech—essential for the AP Italian exam and real conversations.

Examples

  • Listening to an Italian podcast and jotting down unfamiliar words.

  • Watching a movie scene multiple times to catch every detail.
