There is a huge difference between Listening and Hearing...


... and whether you have children, teach English or have had the unfortunate experience of having an inattentive spouse or friend we have all experienced it!

You're sitting there talking away and despite the fact that the person supposedly hearing you and making the appropriate nods and vocal Q's you soon realize that their mind is elsewhere and they haven't actually listened to a word you were saying!
