Answer:
In depth knowledge and understanding of the language spoken (what is being listened to)
Explanation:
In language (speaking and listening), the term L1 refers to a person's first language; it is the language which a person grew up with and is usually embraced naturally by a person as a child (up till around the age of 12). In some minor cases, a person can have 2 languages as L1 (in the case where a person was raised in a home setting where 2 different languages were spoken. For example, a house were English and Spanish were spoken, the child will have a bilingual L1).
L1 refers to the language one learnt without any 'significant effort'; it was just naturally picked up and it becomes like 'second nature' to the speaker or listener. L1 usually connotes that the speaker orlistener has an intrinsic & exhaustive knowledge of the language been spoken (when the speaker or listener is exposed to the lexicon, correct grammar, semantics, culture et al). <u>L1 connotes that the listener has an in depth understanding of the language being spoken (understands content, etymology and context of what is being said) </u>
