What helps me is coming back to that part of the report later and listening again. You will be amazed at what you pick up when you take a break and try again later.

Biggest thing ESLs do is put accent on the wrong syllable.
Like "sub SEE quent lee" instead of the way most people say it, "sub see QUENT lee"

Because of the pronunciation of "diabetes" my doctor says the patient is "dia BEET ic" instead of diabetic.

Remembering this can often help you figure out a word - and you'll probably laugh when you do!
