person who listens attentively
A person who is listening and paying attention to what is being said or heard.
Tipar de utilizare:
a/an [adjective] listener
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes say *"I am a good listening"* instead of *"I am a good listener"*. Remember to use the noun *listener*, not the -ing form, when talking about a person. Another mistake is using *listener* when *audience* is better, for example saying *"There were many listeners at the concert"*; in this case, *audience* is more natural.

audience for radio or audio shows
A person who listens to a radio show, podcast, or other audio program as part of its audience.
Tipar de utilizare:
[listeners] to [something]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners may confuse *listener* with *audience*. Use *listeners* when you want to stress that people are hearing audio (radio, podcast), and *audience* when you speak about the whole group at a concert, speech, or show. For example, say *"radio listeners"*, but *"the audience at the concert"*.
Sinonime
audience (Usually refers to the whole group, not an individual person; can also include viewers, not only listeners.)
Antonime
non-listener (A person who does not listen to a particular show or station; used in marketing or survey contexts.)
