Hi Vireak! If they speak fast, focus on the stress. In English, the most important words are spoken louder and longer. Also, look at the situation around you (the body language, the objects) to guess the meaning! ads_click

Not at all! Even at the C2 level, you use gist listening when watching movies, listening to the news, or entering a meeting late. It is a lifelong skill! headphones

Sometimes just one! If you hear the word "Ticket", you already know you are travelling. Usually, two or three words (like "size" and "color") are enough to paint the whole picture. image
