WHO’S LISTENING?

My learning journey continues….

Listening, now that IS an interesting word.  With talking and communicating being made easy and fast these days via so many different mediums – it is a fair question to ask, who is listening?

Technically, it is a verb, the present participle of to lis-ten.  It is to give your attention to a sound: “sit and listen to the radio”.  It is to take notice of and act on what someone says; respond to advice or a request: “I told her over and over, but she wouldn’t listen”.

Listening is an important element of the audio learning programmes that I am currently producing here in Latvia.  Making the programmes interesting enough for people to want to stay with the information is just part of it.  Helping ‘listeners’ want to take action is another part.

I have had such a fabulous time again here in Riga.   This short film brings together so many aspects of what each day has been like over the last 72 hours – I hope you enjoy it

Home on Sunday and then editing and post-production of all the raw recordings.  Huge thanks again to my wonderful colleagues here at Eurofortis, signing out now from your Józia
