Listening becomes easier when you attend to thought groups, stress, linking and the small changes in pitch that signal a speaker's intention.
Listening notebook
Meaning lives in timing as well as words.
Pass one
Do not write. Follow the speaker's purpose and relationship.
Pass two
Mark only the words that sound prominent. They form the message skeleton.
