whate is the diffrent between listen and hear

[Torsten]

Listening is something you do actively. Listening requires concentration. Hearing is one of the five senses and it is something you do all the time while you are awake. Also, listen usually requires the preposition to while hear doesn't.
For example, you say Are you listening to me? and I can hear you.
