How can I study with CNN?

Question

I am an Asian who is majoring in English Language Literature. I have to study with CNN, but it's not easy to hear CNN news smoothly. So I decided to hear a news more than 20 times in one article. Before hearing, should it be better read article many times? Or will it be more effective listening the news without any former knowledge of the news?

Answer 1

If your native language is English, you will follow the story's quite nicely.

If it is not, you may very well encounter difficulties with the reporting.

The only suggestion I can make, is to ensure there is no other background noise to distract you, and listen very carefully.

Good luck.
