That sounds worth trying and you will be the best to judge if it helps you. Sometimes it is easier to commit to something that has fewer steps. One strategy that does not require looking up lots of words or memorizing is called "shadowing." You listen to an audio (anything you can pause easily) for no more than ten seconds and try to repeat phrases or sentences just after the speaker has said them. As long as you get the "gist" (understand most of it), simply repeat back what you heard. It isn't necessary to look up every single word. As with the method you described, you can listen to the whole recording first without speaking. You can also find talks or audios that have a transcript so you can fully understand ahead of time. But even if you just listen and repeat, understanding most of the words, you will find yourself learning through context. You'll also improve intonation, stresses, pronunciation etc. This video recommends you try shadowing just a few minutes a day (not hours!) in order to improve. https://www.google.ca/search?q=how+to+use+shadowing&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS741US741&oq=how+to+use+shadowing+&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l4.1965j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=1

It means the paper was moving slightly due to moisture and heat, so that the colored ink from the printer was not "lining up" (= aligning) correctly. To align = to line up.

Where is the spring?

It's already mMarch, and actually [officially] the spring began on mMarch 20th. Everyone hoped that the weather [was] is getting better now. Autumn and winter were so badly, cold and wet. Two weeks before [ago], there was [ok but more natural to say: we had] a very nice day, sunny and warm. We could ride our bicycles for the first time this year.
But today in the morning, there was a very bad surprise. It was [had snowed overnight] snowing in the night. The streets were icy and there was chaos on the streets. Trucks couldn't overcome [get over] the hill, so there was a long traffic jam. I needed almost 2 hours to drive 20 kilometers.
I hope the spring is coming soon.

Excellent! A couple tricky verbal issues. The original was completely understandable but I've made some small corrections. Although we haven't had any snow, our own skies are gray and I am really eager for warmer, spring weather to come here as well. Best wishes with your language studies. 

Thank you for catching that typo, Antonio! I don't know I missed that. Corrected above. Gracias!
