Sharpen Your EAR: Everyday B1/B2 English - Episode 35

Welcome to Episode 35 of Sharpen Your EAR — the podcast designed to help B1 and B2 English learners train their listening skills first, so speaking becomes easier and more natural.

If you understand grammar but still struggle to follow real conversations, this episode is for you. Many learners try to speak more, memorize more words, and study more rules — but forget one critical skill: the EAR. Fluent speakers don’t translate in their heads. They recognize sounds, patterns, and rhythm instantly. That’s exactly what we train here.

In this episode, you’ll listen to clear, natural everyday English used in real-life situations. The pace is friendly for intermediate learners, but realistic enough to prepare you for real conversations, movies, podcasts, and workplace English. You’ll hear common expressions, sentence structures, and natural pronunciation that native speakers use every day — without stress or confusion.

This episode focuses on:

Improving listening comprehension at B1/B2 level

Training your ear to catch connected speech and weak sounds

Recognizing everyday phrases before translating

Building confidence through repetition and exposure

You don’t need to stop, rewind every sentence, or take notes. Just listen actively. Over time, your ear becomes faster, sharper, and more comfortable with English. This is how fluency really starts — not in the mouth, but in the ear.

🎧 How to use this episode best:
Listen once for general understanding. Then listen again while doing something simple — walking, commuting, or relaxing. The goal is not perfection; the goal is familiarity. When English starts to feel familiar, speaking becomes automatic.

Whether you’re preparing for exams, improving workplace communication, or simply trying to understand English without subtitles, Sharpen Your EAR helps you move from learning English to living English.

Press play, relax, and let your English EAR do the work.
