The advantages of focusing on this frequently neglected and underestimated skill:

4. You need to listen because we write and talk differently
5. You listen to authentic and natural English
6. You listen to the collocations in use
7. Free downloadable materials are available online 24/7
8. Exposure to the language is unlimited
9. You listen to different accents and registers (formal/ informal/ neutral)

12. YOU choose the topics of YOUR interest
13. You take your learning process in your own hands
14. You don’t have to go abroad to listen to native speakers
