involves listening to English words being spoken,processing and assigning what

it means and then reusing it in spoken and written form.

foreign language.To gain English fluency you must have a lot of understandable

repetetive English listening.

passages.Then  practise saying them from memory, imitating the

speakers pronounciation.After a  while, you will notice that words and phrases

from the recording and will start using them in your own sentences.
