Listening excercises

Question

Dears,

I'm in an intermediate level of Spanish course and I'm doing well in general (understanding grammer, reading, writing, understanding the teacher), but I have a problem with listening to the spanish exercises, where I missed a lot of conversation and accordingly missed the excercise!

Does anyone has an advice for me to improve my listening skills?!

Hi Mndeen,

I use this site as a beginner, but they have intermediate and advanced levels too. (I just can't vouch for them) utexas

I also love 123teachme.com but I find it really hard to navigate the site. I usually do a google search, for example: 123teachme preterite or (well anything ...even just vocabulary) On the right there are different exercises a lot of them have audio clips. I sometimes cover the screen, turn off the subtitles and just listen. I know how to use it so it's easy.

But, it might not be what you looking for.

Also, try search the forum for listening exercises. I'm sure there's been lots shared before.

The utexas site is quite good, link is listed in the SD reference pages. Also you get regional accents from various countries. - pesta, Jan 17, 2012

News in Slow Spanish is also a good site for practicing listening at slower speed. Do be aware that it is in a peninsular Spanish accent (distinción). This really only affects the pronunciation of the Z and soft C.
