First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. So, now you know you are not alone.! OK. The most important thing is to listen, and that means as often as possible. The next step is to find listening resources. This is where the Internet really comes in handy as a tool for English students.
Here is some of the advice:
* Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
* Keep cool when you do not understand - even if you continue to not understand for a long time.
* Do not translate into your native language
* Listen for the gist (general idea) of the conversation. Don't concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas.
