Improve your listening using "shadowing" techinique.
Since one month ago I've been studied English every day, I resolved to enjoy my vacation to study the maximum hours possibles.
At first I needed to improve my listening, so I started listening to many audio clips on the first week, but it was not effective. And then I stopped and I have searched for new techniques.
The result I found was the technique called "shadowing".
Basically it is a technique where you have a big text with audio(it can be a book for example) and you break this large text into small pieces with five to ten lines each and listen this block many times until your listening gets between 90% to 100% in understanding.
Todo list for correct study.
1 session to review the text, reading and understand the vocabulary and structure's text only once.
20 sessions of listening and reading (audio + text).
20 sessions of listening only to the audio.
20 sessions of listening and reading again (audio + text).
ps. Try reading aloud;
After understand between 90% and 100% of the text by listening only, we can advance to next audio + clip.
In short; this technique is very efficient. For me it has been a success and I am more relaxed when speaking on italki and I have understood more native speakers.
My goal now is to avoid translate my native language to my new language. It's try think in English and speak alone.
