listen out for
pay attention for
To listen out for something is to pay attention so that you notice it when it happens or is said.
Hear it in real life
How will I know when my bus arrives?
Listen out for the announcement.
Listen out for a message from the clinic this afternoon.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: Listen for out your name.
Say: Listen out for your name.
Put "out" before "for," not after "for."
