Active Listening Strategies

Become a Better Listener

Active listening is more than just hearing words—it’s about understanding meaning and context. When listening to Spanish audio, jot down key words, pay attention to tone and emotion, and try to predict what comes next. If you miss something, don’t panic; focus on the overall message. Practice with different accents to build confidence.

Examples

  • Listening to a Spanish podcast and summarizing the main ideas.

  • Watching Spanish-language YouTube videos and noting unfamiliar expressions.
