🧠 Tips for
Effective Listening:

✅ Avoid the transcript your first time through. This is huge.

✅ Read the questions first, then listen carefully for the answers.
This keeps you engaged and sharpens your focus.

✅ Adjust the speed:
Too easy? Speed it up.
Too hard? Slow it down.

✅ Aim for 80–90% comprehension.
You don’t need to understand every word to get the message.

⏪ Rewind anytime you get lost or your mind drifts.
(It happens to me all the time.)
This is a crucial part of the process.
