How differentiate the number 0 and alphabet 'o'. I heard in my listening exercises they spell number 0 as Alphabet 'o'

[thong]

Hi Simon!
Thank for your lesson.
I still wonder about one problem. It's how to rely "8" or "H".

[Raquel]

Hi Simon, would it be possible to have another exercise like this one. I found it really useful. Cheers

[Simon]

Hi Thong,

You need to listen for the "ch" sound in "h".

...

Hi Raquel,

Yes, I'll try to make more like this soon.

[Jessica]

Hi Simon,

I always struggle in the last few questions where the speaker speaks rather fast and the answer is not straightforward (eg a lecture, etc) and I tend to start panicking (though I try not to) once I miss the answer for a certain question, it takes me a while to go back on track and understand what (or where in the questions) the speaker is talking about, but by the time I do so I would have missed a few questions. Do you have any tips on this, or suggestion on what I can practice to improve this?

Its so frustrating, I have been working on my writing and speaking because these are my main weaknesses - I got the required scores for these 2 but found that I did badly in my listening :(

Thank you so much!

Hi Simon thanks for this exercise!

please I would like to know how is the pronunciation of 444 in the number 10 because I cannot understand this.

[RAJNI]

hi Simon thanks for this test.

[Simon]

Hi Grace,

It's "triple 4".

[Grace]

thanks Simon!

[Ilkin]

Hi Simon,
I have problem with long type multiple choice.More exactly, I can't read the whole questions in the time that given us and during listening I can't get good score.
If possible advice me some strategies....
thanks in advance

[semenchu]

Anyway, I wrote Wain Wright for Q6. Is it acceptable Sir Simon?

[Simon]

Probably not Semenchu. A surname will be one word.

[Shih Ya]

Hello Simon,

After this, i found that it is so difficult for me to compare "a" and "e" and " M" and "N" in a short time. Do you have any suggestions? It seems no one has this problem here....(

[Simon]

Hi Shih,

Try to pronounce the difference between "ate" and "eat" in order to hear the sounds of letters "a" and "e".

We pronounce "m" by closing our lips together, but the lips do not close when pronouncing "n". Try to say these sounds and listen for the difference when then lips close.

[ib]

I just discovered your website. It is really helpful.
thank you too much simon.

[Hussain Ahmad]

thanx sir simon,its really helpfull

[H. Wu]

Hi Simon!
