#listening comprehension

ravenclawhard:

I have only recently heard about this method to improve your listening comprehension alongside your speaking skills.

It’s called shadowing.

The concept is that you listen to your target language recording whether it be radio, samples, a podcast…

And you repeat immediately. Without stopping, simultaneously, as if you were an interpreter and had to belt out a translation right away. 

This helps you to truly sharpen your hearing skills since you have to say everything immediately afterwards. If you find it too had at first, try listening with a transcript.
