Spanish Listening Comprehension
Hello guys.
Since I am taking an advanced course in Spanish, I feel that I have to improve in my Listening Comprehension, as I am not adjusted to the way people speak. Are there any websites for me to practice and improve my listening comprehension? I prefer for these websites to have questions to test my knowledge on what I have heard.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi! there are plenty here
Enjoy!!
These don't really test your listening comprehension, but I find it's great practice to just listen to them anyway. The first is the BBC Mundo podcast, which is a 15-minute news podcast in Spanish with a focus on events in the Spanish-speaking world. They speak fairly clearly and if you miss anything you can go and read the article on their website. And there are also lots of Spanish TV shows you can watch online, which gives you good practice hearing everyday vocabulary. I watch 7 Vidas. It's not great cinema, but can be taken in small doses.
Have you listened to the series " (Mi vida loca" or "Destinos". It's been a while since I listened to them, but I seem to recall that they asked questions about the videos.
You also might enjoy sites like Lo Mas TV. It shows videos and discusses the grammar used in the videos so that is a sort of test of what you heard.

LoMas TV is awesome. I knew about it for awhile but was always too lazy to sign up, and I'm so mad about that! For 10 bucks a month it is VERY worth the money. You'll remember the vocabulary so much better in context, and everything is categorized according to difficulty and accent. Take a look at the samples on the site. Definitely do that if you want to get better at listening.
These answers are quite interesting. By the way, what channels/TV shows are good to watch in order to improve listening comprehension?
