Listen together

Language begins to sound familiar before we can speak it.

Babies recognize familiar voices before their first words. Around six months, many recognize basic native-language sounds; early words often arrive around their first birthday.

Adults learn differently. Still, you can give English more space in your daily life: a conversation, a story, a few minutes of listening that interest you.
