'I can understand my English teacher, but I cannot understand native speakers in films or on YouTube. They speak too fast. What can I do?', 'When two native speakers talk to each other, I get lost very quickly. I know many words, but I still do not understand the conversation.', 'People from different English-speaking countries sound very different to me. I understand some accents, but others are very difficult.', 'In class I understand listening exercises, but in real life I do not understand people in shops, stations, or cafés.', 'When someone uses slang or informal expressions, I cannot follow the conversation. I feel embarrassed and stop listening.', 'I panic when I do not understand one word, and then I miss the next sentences too. How can I stay calm and keep listening?', 'I can read English better than I can understand it when people speak. Why is listening much harder for me, and how can I improve?', 'On video calls, the sound is sometimes bad, and I find it even harder to understand people’s English. What strategies can help me?', 'I am afraid to ask people to repeat what they said because I think they will get annoyed. What should I do when I do not understand?', 'I have been studying English for years, but I still struggle to understand connected speech, when words sound different together. How can I practice this?'
