Listening practice
Download a media program that has the text of what is said.
Review the text one sentence at a time and
familiarize yourself with the vocabulary.
(Study the grammar as a separate exercise and focus now on the listening/speech)
Follow a sentence several times while listening
until you are comfortable with its pronunciation in the context of the sentences.
Without looking into the transcript,
repeat the sentence (say it aloud) exactly as you heard it.
Record your best effort and compare.
Listen to the text in short paragraphs or chunks.
Look away and try to summarize in your words the content.
Record and listen to your summary for review.
Listen to the whole conversation or story without interruption.
Summarize this "whole" and record, listen and compare.
