listen and hear
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you know the difference between the verbs TO LISTEN and TO HEAR
TO LISTEN is active. TO HEAR is passive
Sometimes you can LISTEN too hard. Sometimes you can TRY too hard. Sometimes it is better only to HEAR
If you have a listening exercise or a listening activity for learning English
Let the radio play. Let the cassette play. But DON'T listen. Just HEAR
Your subconscious will listen for you. And you will still learn. If you listen and try to understand, you may block on one
word and get frustrated. Don't worry! Just HEAR! Believe me, you will still be learning. The important thing is to let the
radio or cassette or television or record PLAY. Let it play. And you - you do nothing. Your brain will HEAR, your
subconscious will LISTEN and you will LEARN
