What you should understandआपको क्या समझना है?

  • Native speakers don't slow down; they blend words, so expect to hear groups, not separate words.
  • Catch the stressed words - usually the nouns and verbs - and the sentence still makes sense.
  • Listen to the same clip twice: once for the general idea, once for the details.
  • Don't stop at a missed word; keep up with the speaker and fill the gap afterwards.
