When learning a language, it helps to do a little something each day, even if it just ten to fifteen minutes each day! Try to apply that same concept to your listening comprehension! Just remember, it's not important to understand each and every single word being spoken, but to understand the sense of what is being said.
On that note, I think that the Radio 24 program, Mr. Kilowatt, is a great program to practice with because 1) it's short in duration, between 10-15 minutes 2) it talks about energy and how it affects our lives, the environment, political influences and more. This is a program that discusses themes that are relevant to each of our lives as the world strives to find renewable and sustainable sources of energy. As we all know, this is difficult in the current political climate on our planet! Although it may not be a topic that is of interest to everyone, the words used should be familiar as it is an argument and topic that is hard not to know about.
The show airs Monday through Friday on Radio 24 at 9:00 PM (21:00). You can listen to it live or following the program through podcasts!
