Hello everyone,

Today we will talk about the difference between Hear and Listen.

Many students confuse these words so let’s see what the difference is.

We use Hear to talk about one of our senses, like See you don’t need to do anything it just happens naturally.  It’s just a natural ability.

 

I can hear the rain.

I heard this song on the radio.

Can you hear me?

 

We use Listen the same way we use Watch.  When you pay attention to a noise, song or someone talking.  Here are some examples.

 

I listen to the news on the radio every morning.

I like to listen to Ebaby lessons.

I listened to their album when I was in High School.

 

I hope this explanation was useful to some.  I will have another lesson for you in a couple of days.  Have fun learning and don’t be shy to ask questions J

 

Sam

I like what I read and saw, let us talk.
Something about me? I'm a Petrochemical engineer, very calm and steady, sociable and easy-going with people of any age and profession. I'm open and compassionate. It's natural for me to take care of others. I am a very responsible man who values the laws of ethic and good taste both in myself and others. For me, honesty, sincerity and mutual respect are very important. I'm serious and practical but at the same time I'm very romantic and I won't deny of seeing a night sky and stars, morning sunrise, sitting at the fire and listening to romantic and rock music, eating a wonderful dinner with candles with my righful beloved darling who is yet to be known, with numerous wonderful moments together. My dearest dream is to have a wealthy and prosperous family of my own, loving beautiful wife and good looking and healthy children. I want to realize my huge desire to have a cozy and harmonic home. I want to take care, love and to be loved by my wife. I dream about finding my second half. I'd like to meet tender and faithful lady like you who would be gorgeous, intelligent, emotional and with good sense of humor and at the same time be responsible, independent, decisive and self-assured. I'd like to have a family with a woman who would be a fan and support for me, for life.
