I have 20+ free resources for English language listening practice, so I guess it's not surprising that this video turned out be my longest video so far. If you enjoy the video and learned something new, kindly hit the like button and subscribe! xo
Sadly, 「ABCニュース英語」ABC News English is shutting down, so that is one less resource for you! :(

Thank you!! It's perfect video!!!

[@morksensei]

Cheers for the kind comment!

[@jesinaralustoza5936]

Thank you for sharing with us these amazing websites. I am sure it will help me a lot.

[@morksensei]

I hope they help!

Hi teacher, First of all, a big thanks for your video, I appreciate your professional work in it. I am an English student and try to complement my studies in a centre with studies for free on the internet. In your video, you gave us a lot of information to find out the best for our needs. In my opinion, maybe too much because nowadays we are used to having all things easy in the first shot (wrong habit), anyway I believe that we have a lot of information, only I would like to point you that for me as a future self-directed learner, the more important is not the content and variety of the topics but also good feedback, this is the key, and in this point is where you could help us more. One more time, a big thanks and a warm greeting.

[@morksensei]

Thanks for your kind and helpful feedback, Ricardo. Yes, it was a long video (perhaps too much information!), and you are correct, getting feedback is important even for practice in English receptive skills. When you do online multiple-choice comprehension activities, for example, it would be great if the systems could provide you with reasons why your choice might be correct or incorrect. Unfortunately, when it comes to services that are free, there are fewer choices. Sadly, I cannot evaluate or even describe all the paid services out there, because I would have to pay, too. ;)

[@akramobada]

sorry if I asked a lot today ,but really thankful you're so amazing , now the question is how to divide my time to use those sources or I should not use them all

[@morksensei]

I wouldn't use them all. Just pick one or two that interest you. You can try the others later.

[@morksensei]

Hi Akram Obada! Cheers for the Instagram chat - at the end of the day I guess you'll have to try a couple of approaches and then decide which is better for you. Let me know how it goes. :)

[@theportaldeepgate2661]

I just want to say that you're the best of best online !!! Go ahead

[@morksensei]

Cheers for the kind words!

[@Atilioam]

Wonderful video. Plenty of valuable information for ESL learners. Thank you.

[@morksensei]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hanisallam2450]

You're most welcome!

[@darakinanti5]

What a great video, thank you for sharing!❤

[@morksensei]

Cheers! Glad it was useful.

[@ViacheslavKr]

Hi, teacher! I will definitely use some of the recommended resources. I already know and use some but yours also very useful.

[@morksensei]

Great! Nice to see you here again, Ch K. Do you suggestions I've not included, by the way?

[@ViacheslavKr]

@@morksensei Hi, Morksensei! I like Newsy most of all, in your recommendations. That was a new cite for me. I prefer British pronunciation, but I must understand the American accent also. I enjoy audio in my native language but want to understand audio, of any level of difficulty, in English. And do it with pleasure. I see that it is a difficult task, but I enjoy working on it. How many thousands of hours it will take me, I would like to know.

[@morksensei]

Ha! It might seem never-ending. But, much like the climb to the top of the mountain, it’s not really reaching the top, it’s the journey.

[@ViacheslavKr]

​@@morksensei The main thing is that I already enjoy the journey. And simultaneously, I like my language to a much higher degree. If I may say so. By the way, mountaineers, most of the time, reach their goal.

[@akramobada]

@@ViacheslavKr how many sources do you use everyday .

[@anyafink1836]

Great work!! Thank u so so so much

[@morksensei]

I'm glad it is helpful!

[@BBonyou1]

Thank you for the video, I hope to be able to speak English well in the future. :)

[@morksensei]

You can do it!

[@User-vh4gy]

Thank you 🌷 so useful 🌹

[@morksensei]

Cheers!

[@luizvagnersampaio6684]

I Love your voice..Teacher.!!

[@morksensei]

Very kind, Luiz - thank you!

[@stevenherder]

Hello Mork Sensei, Just FYI, the video lessons have ended according to this notice 番組終了のお知らせ 「攻略！ABCニュース英語」は3月27日をもって終了となります。 長い間のご視聴、ありがとうございました。

[@morksensei]

Cheers for the heads up! I’ll put it in the description box. So, they’ll stop producing it, but will they keep public archives I wonder?

[@stevenherder]

@@morksensei The button vocabulary was available, but the button for video was gone when I went there.

[@morksensei]

Rats...

[@hendarara3514]

Great video

[@morksensei]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@akramobada]

in the intensive listening skill do I have to shadow from one of the sources you recommended

[@morksensei]

Shadowing is mostly down for fluency (speed) and pronunciation practice. You don't need to do it all the time. :)

[@KhalidKouzaba-pj3kp]

Did you know that you’re amazing?

[@morksensei]

How sweet of you to say!

[@kkkkumako]

Thank you for sharing the great resources. I searched for Movies Club on the Internet but couldn't find it. Could you give the URL?

[@morksensei]

Cheers. Yes, if I recall, it’s a strange URL. Go to my related blog post (link in description). I link to all the resources there. :)

[@kkkkumako]

I found it on your blog! Thank you so much for your response!

[@morksensei]

You’re most welcome!
