read aloud

For starters, after learning pinyin and knowing the basic rules of grammar, you should buy some books that allow you to practice listening simple sentences and expand your vocabulary. After a while, when you're much more confident in listening, you should start listening to some TV programs and movies. One of my favorite TV programs is 快乐大本营，and there are many good movies for you to choose, such as 中国合伙人，那些年我们一起追的女孩。you have to choose what you are really interested in so that you can keep on listening for many times. If there is a lot of new vocabulary, you should watch with subtitle at the first time. However, if you are quite good then you should watch without subtitle at the first time and then watch with subtitle for many times as you want. Remember to take note new words and idioms you don't know.

Hi Lamar I find gurulu.com is good for listening practice, they have short news stories from hsk 1-5 which you listen to and answer questions on and they have an hask test prep section where you can go through question. Good luck
