Practice pronunciation before practicing listening to English
Do you think that pronunciation only relates to speaking skills, not listening skills? If yes, you are completely wrong. Practicing pronunciation is an important step which decides whether you can hear correctly. When you practice pronunciation, you know the pronunciation of English words, so when you hear the words, you will be able to easily recognize them. Proper pronunciation will limit mishearing. There are many cases even though that word is very familiar to you but when you hear it you still cannot hear what that word is. This is because you have pronounced the word wrong and lead to not able to recognize words spoken by others.
