1. Find an interesting video at a good level (= a little bit challenging).

2. Look at the title & images. Think about the topic before listening.

3. Listen once without stopping & without checking the script. Focus on the main points (don't worry if you can't catch everything).

    - If there is a quiz, do it to check your comprehension.

    - If there is no quiz, note the main points.

4. Listen again & again (especially to challenging or important parts) to learn new language.

   - If there is a script or vocabulary help, check it.

5. Review the lesson many times to improve your fluency & vocabulary.
