She was excited to get into the conversation and felt ready. However, it was always a &#8220;complete disaster.&#8221; She realized that she wasn&#8217;t ready to have a conversation and went back to text chatting in Spanish. She realized that a lot of the words that the person was using she hadn&#8217;t seen before. She had to identify this problem to see the gap in her skills.\u00a0She got the right materials and built up her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/aee-392-how-to-be-more-ambitious-about-your-english-vocabulary\/\">vocabulary<\/a>.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>She changed her strategy. After she started doing the right things and worked on learning the right vocabulary she was able to launch herself up to the advanced level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>She realized that she had low listening skills:<\/strong> If she watched a movie in Spanish she could understand everything with subtitles but without them she couldn&#8217;t understand very much. She identified the problem and broke movies down into one minute of audio. She set a goal of trying to understand that full minute without the subtitles.\u00a0 She asked herself what she needed to do to understand the remaining 20% that was still missing. She did listening training again and again and again. She started to see major improvement between 5 and 10 hours of work. She realized that her ear was ignoring certain sounds in the language. Finally she learned how to connect with those sounds and understand them and that changed everything.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>In social situations it was hard to jump into a conversation and speak:<\/strong> Amy didn&#8217;t feel comfortable in group situations to jump in with Spanish. She realized that people don&#8217;t talk about serious matters like topics she had learned before. She realized that they talk about lighter things like family, friends, and they tell stories. She focused on learning how to add interesting details when she tells personal stories. You can do this by thinking about the last story that you told someone and try to think about it in English.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/transcripts\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-8260\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/All-Ears-English-Transcripts-208x300.png?f7a083&amp;5211a5&amp;5211a5&amp;5211a5&amp;5211a5&amp;5211a5&amp;5211a5&amp;5211a5&amp;5211a5&amp;5211a5&amp;fa14ef&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3&amp;9eafa3\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/All-Ears-English-Transcripts-208x300.png 208w, https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/All-Ears-English-Transcripts-709x1024.png 709w, https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/All-Ears-English-Transcripts.png 720w\" alt=\"All Ears English Transcripts\" width=\"160\" height=\"231\" \/><\/a><strong>Make sure you understand every word you hear on All Ears English.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bring your English to the advanced level with new vocabulary and natural expressions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Get the transcripts from today\u2019s episode.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn to speak naturally with the American accent.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/subscribe\"><strong>Click here to subscribe and save 50%<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The takeaway:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Go beyond the surface.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t just say &#8220;my listening is bad!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Instead you have to go beyond the surface and figure out exactly how to solve that problem.<\/p>\n<p>You need to be a scientist when it comes to learning a language.<\/p>\n<p>You need to look at the biggest obstacles that are holding you back and always try to look at the weakest skills that you have to build them up.<\/p>\n<p>Try to balance out your skills so that you are at the same level in all four skills.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amy&#8217;s Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Amy Whitney left her life in Canada to\u00a0pursue a dream of living abroad to experience a new life, language, and culture of Mexico.
