Funny English Commercial
In my opinion, learning to be a good listener of English is important for communication. Listening is a difficult skill, so it takes lots of practice to become good. In this video a German man, who works for the coast guard, has difficulty understanding what people on the radio are saying. Actually, those people are in trouble because their ship is sinking. However, the German man thinks that they are saying “thinking,” so he asks, “What are you thinking about?” If you study English and you like to laugh, I recommend that you watch this video. Perhaps you might make a similar mistake?
If you want to practice your English listening, here are some useful and interesting sites:
