Practice Your Reading Comprehension

A great way to practice your listening comprehension in English is by finding content that you enjoy listening to. Podcasts are incredibly popular and copious in quantity these days, so there is virtually an infinite amount of content that one can consume auditorily.

One such podcast is “What Now? with Trevor Noah.” This Spotify exclusive comes in both audio and video formats. It is hosted by famed comedian Trevor Noah. If you actively listen to his podcast, you can start to improve your understanding of multiple English elements:

• American English and its native accents, including African American Vernacular English (AAVE)

• humour

• question structures

• past tense

• vocabulary related to:

  • career

  • life experience

  • memory

  • storytelling

  • identity

  • opinion

  • philosophy

  • religion

  • politics

  • mental health

  • pop culture

• and more!
