 | Hey all, So, I'm neurodivergent and I've got relatively slow auditory processing (for those who don't know, it just means that it takes my brain a little longer to process/make sense of spoken language/sounds; it's my brain, not my ears). For this reason, I'm very keen to work on my listening comprehension, so here's the strategy I've been using. Day 0: Pick a short story from my collection of graded German (TL) short stories, one that I can already understand ~ 70 - 90% of. I note down the words/collocations I don't know and make them into Anki flashcards (no translations, pictures where possible, sentences with key words omitted for linkers/turns of phrase etc). Day 1: do my flashcards and then listen (instead of re-reading) to the audiobook of the short story. Day 2 - 7: repeat flashcards, re-listen to the short story and shadow every sentence. By about day 6, I can confidently shadow almost the whole short story. Here's my question: would I make better progress if, instead of repeating the same short story every week, I ploughed ahead through more short stories/reading and listening material? I came across this post (linked above) and I'm thinking that I could stand to move at a faster pace. While my method does work, it gets pretty boring a couple days in, which is a real test of my patience. Many thanks all :) [link] [comments] |
