There are some excellent ways to practice your English listening skills for example why not watch a film in English with the sound in English but the subtitles in your own language, or there are many podcast now on the internet where you can listen to people read stories and articles that are designed for English learners. For example try these from the BBC.
Of course real listening skills develop when you have an actual conversation with a native speaker. It is all very well listening to a clear podcast in a quite room, but what if you need to hear English in a crowded shop or bar or office, where background noise is high and the speaker has an accent you do not understand.
One of the best ways to develop your listening English is to take telephone or Skype English lessons. Phonebox Language School specializes in such lessons and can help to re-create some of the problems experienced by English students, making an important phone call in English can be a daunting prospect, but with the correct tuition and guidance your level of confidence can improve dramatically.
