Studying Tips
by Spanish Teacher
Isaías Chango from Venezuela.
First of all, it doesn't matter if you don't know the meaning of every word, because this type of exercise is mostly meant for listening. So, it'd be great if you are able to listen to every single word, even without knowing its meaning.
Let's start practicing, paragraph by paragraph, with an audio selected by you.
You can practice on your own, using these three simple steps:
- Listen without reading: if you are able to identify every word the first time round, congrats! But if not, try at least five more times. Repetition helps your brain record the sounds.
- Listen and fill in the blanks: again, the meaning of the words doesn't matter. Just listen carefully, pausing the audio as many times as you need. This will help you match every sound.
- Read while listening: with everything filled in, listen to the audio again, trying to match every single word, even the smallest ones, to every single sound.
When you're done, repeat with the next paragraph.
Note: you can fill in the blanks and go check your answers whenever you want to.
