Let’s be real for a second. When you first start learning English, you probably think native speakers talk like the recordings in your textbook:

“Hello, how are you today?” “I am fine, thank you. And you?”

Then you meet a native speaker and they say:

“Hey, how’s it goin’?” “Good, you?”

And your brain goes: Wait. What language was that?

Here’s the thing — most learners aren’t bad listeners. They’re just listening for a version of English that doesn’t exist in real life.
