Dear,

I hope you are well and safe.

One of the things what I have been doing to improve my English is listening podcasts (of course in this language).

When I started, I couldn't understand anything, but today I can comprehend almost everything.

Normally I listen it when I am going to my job and after when I am coming back to my home.
What I am trying to say is: you can use this strategy when you are doing something which normally you don't have to focus on the activity. For exemple: You can drive a car and listening a song, can't you? So, you can change it to a podcast. This little change will help you improve your learning of a new language.

Finally, to finish this post I would like to recommend some podcasts (in English) which I really like:
- Jocko Podcast
- The Garyvee Audio Experience
- The Tim Ferriss Show
- The Minimalists
- The School of Greatness

Of couse you have to filter a lot of things which don't agree, but you can get a lot of things that are really good for your life.

I hope this post can help someone.

Thank you everyone.

Have a great evening and a wonderful weekend.

Shabbat Shalom

Thanks, Rabino. The past week I had an embarrassing experience in a job interview that was in English and I had difficulty to understand part of the recruiter questions. I've decided to improve even more my English skills and I guess that if I listen more and more content in English this will be helpful. Thanks for the podcasts suggestions.

Ajuda aí pow!

I didn't practice much speaking till last month, but even before that I could communicate well enough. I believe that happened because I listen a lot of content in english.

So I think giving attention to input (videos, music and podcast) improve listening but also speaking skills.

That's great advice and tks for the recommendations! I used to listen to podcasts in my commute as well, but since I'm driving way less now, I tried listening to them while gaming or doing dishes and it's also good. Btw, for those who like Artificial Intelligence, I recommend the Lex Fridman Podcast -- it used to be called the AI Podcast.

Another suggestion: Something you should know. It is available on all podcast apps.

Even those how find difficult pay attention won't be able to stop listening this one.

Indeed, it's a great idea to listen podcasts/videos while you are doing something that really doesnt need your full attention. For example, I normally listen to some random youtube videos in english to practice my listening while I'm washing dishes. Also, when I'm studying programming or something else, normally I try to look for my answers in english, first because theres a ton of content in english when comparing to portuguese, second because 99% of programming languages use english, not only in their syntax, but also in the documentation. And as @ThiagoDV , I'm aiming to try something outside Brazil to work with, so english is a fundamental key in order to achieve this.
