I am working more on my listen comprehension skills by listening to Langsam gesprochene Nachrichten from Deutsche Welle while reading the transcripts. I am also doing this with the Slow German podcast. Do this helps me by seeing the word and listening the pronunciation. This way I can associate what I hear with the word and helps me hear how the word is pronounced. I will move on to the Shadowing Technique soon. You are reading and saying the text while you are listening to it being spoken. You try copy what the speaker is saying almost immediately. Little kids do this a lot to be annoying. By doing this you can hear your version and the speakers version at same time and make adjustments to your pronunciation. You have to do this with a good speaker in order to learn correct pronunciation. Shadowing improves almost all the areas one needs to be proficient in to understand a language; reading, listening and speaking. I guess you could combine this with writing some how to get the last area.
That's my plan!
