Listening means to pay attention to the Spanish sounds. Don’t just listen to the sound, hear it and study it. Study the way it sounds. Listen to the pronunciations of the letters and the syllables. Please hear the sounds and try to remember them as this will make you a better reader as well.
The next thing is to listen when you speak. As you are learning to speak Spanish listen to the way you sound. Compare your pronunciation with the CD’s or the audio from the online lesson. You have to listen to how you sound and how the proper sound should be made.

You need to determine your strong areas as well as your weak areas and concentrate on what you need to improve.
