I don't think I can listen to English speech anymore. It's torture. I have to focus so hard to... well, not translate and actually absorb the content of the message... And maybe actually making this thread wasn't such a good idea because I think now I pay attention to it more. On the other hand, whether I'm aware of it or not, the action itself hasn't changed (I don't think). And the end result is still that I fail to actually listen and absorb information.
