Listening Skills English Learners Must Learn! Beginning

Nina Weinstein, the author of the gold standard, bestselling, listening book for hundreds of thousands of international English learners, "Whaddaya Say, Third Edition", created and teaches this class just as she has taught her Toyota Motor Sales real-time employees how to become top-level listeners since 1999.

But what about AI? Do we still need English instruction or can AI do it for us? AI is very powerful, but it makes mistakes. It can teach us what specifically we ask for, but if the learner isn't a trained teacher, how does he or she know what specifically to ask when the inevitable difficulties of learning a language come up? When company-to-company competition is so fierce, doesn't an employee who doesn't need the extra step of AI appear more confident and impressive than one who does?

Nina feels that real communication lives in the nuances.  The strongest international communicators can shift when the way the words sound shifts. No company wants just the basics. Companies want to be able to compete on all cylinders, and step 1 to any successful communication is accurate listening.

STEP 1 IN ANY ENGLISH LEARNING PATH.

Do you want to sound more like a native English speaker and do you need to understand natural speed English-- the English people really speak? Then you NEED this class now.

Easy, fun, step-by-step English language skills fast! Spoken English sounds very different than written English. This class teaches you to understand the way speakers really pronounce English. Your teacher explains English pronunciation lessons step-by-step in easy-to-understand English and gives simple rules you can apply whenever you listen to natural-speed, spoken English. Just as grammar has rules, spoken English has rules that will help learners more easily decode the most common sound changes or "reduced forms" that happen when people speak English at a natural speed.

For English language learning and communication at work, you need great English listening skills. These days, most of us don't have hours and hours to learn to understand real spoken English. If you have just sixty minutes, you can change your understanding of English conversation forever.

You could spend hundreds of hours learning to understand English pronunciation the way it's REALLY spoken.  But why do that when this one-hour class will get you there faster? Your teacher, Nina Weinstein, has taught English to some of the most powerful international executives in the world -- from Toyota, Microsoft, Mitsubishi, Tatung, Sumitomo, and others. The takeaway -- busy people who don't have a lot of time to learn English still need English. In one entertaining hour, Nina will give you many of the same listening lessons she gives to non-native, English-speaking employees from major companies-- employees who must understand English speakers to do their jobs. Most lessons are ten minutes or fewer!

Nina wrote the most widely used book to understand spoken English, "Whaddaya Say, Third Edition". The second edition was published by one of the biggest publishers in the world, Pearson Education. Oxford University, Stanford University, UCLA and many other libraries include Nina Weinstein's famous listening book, "Whaddaya Say".

BONUS:  When you understand how native English speakers REALLY speak (the major differences between written and spoken English pronunciation), you can sound more like a native English speaker!

"Listening Skills English Learners Must Learn! Beginning" is the "magic sauce" of English listening. In each lesson, you'll enjoy step-by-step, practice exercises to hear and understand more of spoken English. These practice exercises were written by Nina, the author of twenty-one English textbooks for major New York publishers.
