Exploring the Intricacies of English Vocabulary and Language Nuances

Is English more difficult to understand than other languages?

This was one of the questions I asked Tree Blackmore. We talked about:

- the reasons why listening is difficult - particularly in English
- why English vocabulary makes listening difficult
- some activities and ideas for improving listening and understanding (including one related to pronunciation)

This podcast was recorded on Zoom, so the audio quality isn't as high as usual. But if you find listening difficult, the ideas in this episode will be really helpful for you!
